Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	changes in body-fluid balance	The influence of hemodilution on body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion is examined	1 week	No
Secondary	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)	1 week	No
