The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of renal function indices with sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) in treatment-naïve (naïve) eyes with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and systemic workup. Retrospective chart review was performed from Dec 2016 to Sep 2019 in patients newly diagnosed with treatment-naïve unilateral RVO. Ocular parameters, including SFChT, and systemic profiles, including renal function indices, were reviewed. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to check if there was a correlation between renal profiles and SFChT. A total of 56 patients were included in the study; 34 of them were branch RVO and 22 were central RVO patients. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SFChT was positively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (P < 0.001). SFChT showed significant correlation with renal function indices. In addition, choroidal thickness may be considered as systemic biomarkers for renal function.
