Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs have been widely used in clinic by inhibiting angiogenesis to treat ocular diseases such as malignant tumors and diabetic retinopathy. However, recent studies have shown that intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs may have significant systemic absorption, leading to a series of renal damages such as worsening hypertension, proteinuria, new glomerular disease, and thrombotic microangiopathy. This article reviews the renal toxicity of intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and other ocular diseases, aiming to provide recommendations for clinicians.
