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.

Design outcomes

Primary

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

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
number of participants with dehydration	1 week	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)
