[Cataract during intermittent hemodialysis. The influence of hypocalcemia on the development of opacities (author's transl)].

Twenty uremic patients on intermittent hemodialysis were followed up for lens changes over 4-53 months. Only one patient of 22 years with megaureters and megacystis developed bilateral anterior and posterior subcapsular cataracts during dialysis treatment. The morphology of these cataracts was similar to that of fresh hypocalcemic opacities.

[Corticosteroid cataracts following kidney transplantation. Investigations on the influence of additional factors upon the development of opacities (author's transl)].

15 patients with kidney transplants were followed up for a period of 3 to 45 months. All but one developed lenticular opacities in the posterior subsapsular region. The opacities were classified according to their severity.
