Chronic renal failure as predictive factor for acute elevation of systolic blood pressure after fluorescein angiography in patients with retinal diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the influence of fluorescein angiography (FA) on blood pressure (BP) in patients with retinal diseases, and analyze the predictive factors for acute elevation of systolic BP after FA.

Design

and Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 636 patients undergoing FA between April 2021 and October 2021. BP and pulse were measured in each patient before and 20 min after FA. The baseline characteristics of patients who developed an acute elevation in systolic BP (>10 mmHg) were compared with those of the remaining patients to detect factors that may predict this acute elevation.

Results

Overall, mean systolic BP changed from 142 ± 17 mmHg to 140 ± 20 mmHg after 20 min (p = 0.1). Mean diastolic BP changed from 79 ± 15 mmHg to 78 ± 13 mmHg after 2
