What is another word for uremic optic neuropathy?
Pronunciation: [jʊ͡əɹˈɛmɪk ˈɒptɪk njuːɹˈɒpəθɪ] (IPA) 
Uremic optic neuropathy refers to optic nerve damage caused by high levels of urea in the blood. Synonyms for this condition include uremic neuropathy, renal optic neuropathy, and renal-induced optic neuropathy. It can also be referred to as end-stage renal disease-associated optic neuropathy (ESRDN) since it often occurs in patients with kidney disease. Symptoms of uremic optic neuropathy include blurred vision, decreased visual acuity, and color vision impairment. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent vision loss. Treatment options include controlling blood pressure, managing kidney disease, and undergoing dialysis or kidney transplantation. If left untreated, uremic optic neuropathy can lead to permanent vision loss.
