Our study hypothesizes that fluorescein exposure in diabetic patients with advanced chronic kidney disease results in deterioration of kidney function. It will therefore aim to evaluate the incidence of acute kidney injury induced by fluorescein in diabetic patients with CKD. The objective is to determine the incidence, severity and risk factors associated with this deterioration to improve the care of this specific population.
This study will assess the change in serum creatinine in patients with diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease, after a fluorescein angiography. This is a before and after study that will include 35 patients from the department of ophtalmology over 6 months with a total follow-up for 3 months.
