The most common complication of hemodialysis is blood pressure decrease, which is an ischemic optic neuropathy risk factor. The article presents a case study of sequential bilateral ischemic optic neuropathy with the development of amaurosis as a result of arterial hypotension against the background of programmed hemodialysis. Differential diagnosis in bilateral visual impairment is discussed.

Introduction: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at increased risk for bleeding complications following surgery. However, the approach to the preoperative risk assessment and risk reduction, if feasible, in ESRD patients undergoing nonelective abdominal surgery has not been comprehensively studied. We aim to determine the prevalence and risk factors for perioperative bleeding in patients on dialysis undergoing nonelective abdominal surgery.
