Eye Signs

Yellow eyelid patches may reflect cholesterol abnormalities connected to kidney dysfunction, but they do not prove kidney disease by themselves. Disrupted vitamin D and calcium regulation may cause calcium to build up in the wrong places, including across the eye. White or gray inner eyelids may indicate anemia, which is correlated with kidney problems. Yellow patches or bumps on the eyelids can be cholesterol deposits. A white band on the cornea can reflect calcium deposits linked to dysregulated vitamin D and calcium handling. Bright red and irritated inner eyelids are presented as a possible sign to suspect kidney problems.
