Biography

Dr. Ning-Yi Hsia is a researcher affiliated with the Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science at the College of Medicine, China Medical University (CMU) in Taichung, Taiwan. His research primarily focuses on the intersection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ocular health, exploring how systemic conditions influence eye diseases. In 2022, Dr. Hsia co-authored a significant study titled "Chronic Kidney Disease as a Potential Risk Factor for Uveitis: A 13-Year Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in Taiwan," published in Ocular Immunology and Inflammation. This research investigated the association between CKD and the incidence of uveitis, revealing that CKD patients had a higher risk of developing this inflammatory eye condition. The study underscored the importance of regular ophthalmologic evaluations for CKD patients to facilitate early detection and management of potential ocular complications. In 2023, Dr. Hsia contributed to another notable study, "Tinnitus as a Potential Risk Factor for Uveitis: A 14-Year Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in Taiwan," which examined the relationship between tinnitus and the development of uveitis. The findings suggested a potential link between auditory conditions and ocular inflammation, highlighting the need for comprehensive patient assessments in clinical practice. Dr. Hsia's interdisciplinary approach bridges nephrology and ophthalmology, providing valuable insights into how systemic diseases can impact eye health. His work contributes to a more holistic understanding of patient care, emphasizing the interconnectedness of bodily systems.

    Purpose: To investigate whether patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) are at increased risk of uveitis. Methods: Data was collected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance system and included patients newly diagnosed with TED from 2000 to 2012. The endpoint of interest was a diagnosis of uveitis. Results: 444 patients with TED yielding1,776 matched comparisons revealed that patients with TED were found to have no significantly higher risk for developing uveitis. When comparison of TED and non-TED group was stratified by gender, and age, the association of TED and uveitis was also not significant. Conclusion: TED is characterized as an extraocular inflammatory disease and uveitis is an intraocular inflammation. In the largest study of TED in uveitis to date, our finding.. View More»
