The purpose of this study is to examine the body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion and the influence of drinking habits and hemodilution on the degree of body hydration.
Patients with retinal vascular occlusion who are hospitalized for hemodilution and cardiovascular risk assessment are asked to report their drinking habits. Hydration status before and during hemodilution is assessed with a body-fluid analyzing scale.

RECRUITINGchanges in body-fluid balance
The influence of hemodilution on body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion is examined
Time frame: 1 week
number of participants with dehydration
All patients are asked to fill in a questionnaire concerning their drinking habits (thirst, fluid intake). Patients body-fluid balance during hemodilution is measured with bioimpedance spectroscopy (Body Composition Monitor, Fresenius)
Time frame: 1 week
