Body-fluid Balance and Drinking Habits in Patients With Retinal Vascular Occlusion

• Conditions: Dehydration; Retinal Vascular Occlusion

• Registration Number: NCT01939119
• Lead Sponsor: Technische Universität Dresden

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
changes in body-fluid balance	1 week	The influence of hemodilution on body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion is examined

Secondary Outcome Measures
