Central retinal vein occlusion associated with creatine supplementation and dehydration
PURPOSE: Central retinal vein occlusions (CRVO) are relatively common; however, they are rare in young, otherwise healthy individuals. We report a case of CRVO associated with creatine supplementation and dehydration in a 25-year-old man. OBSERVATIONS: A 25-year-old man developed a non-ischemic CRVO...

description | PURPOSE: Central retinal vein occlusions (CRVO) are relatively common; however, they are rare in young, otherwise healthy individuals. We report a case of CRVO associated with creatine supplementation and dehydration in a 25-year-old man. OBSERVATIONS: A 25-year-old man developed a non-ischemic CRVO in the right eye. Comprehensive thrombophilia screening was unrevealing. Further questioning revealed that the patient was an avid weightlifter and had been taking creatine as a nutrition supplement daily for the past 5 years at a higher than recommended dose. At the time of CRVO onset, he was also restricting water intake in order to lose weight. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: We conclude that the CRVO occurred in the context of creatine use and water restriction, leading to increased risk for thrombosis. Given the increased popularity for nutritional supplements to enhance fitness, it is important for individuals to recognize the association between CRVO, creatine supplementation, and hydration status. |
