Changes of retinal thickness and choroidal thickness in the macular area in patients with liver cirrhosis
AIM:To analyze the differences of retinal thickness, retinal volume and choroidal thickness in the macular area in healthy people and patients with liver cirrhosis, and to explore the morphologic changes of retina and choroid in liver cirrhosis.<p>METHODS: A cross-sectional study. From January...
