Cardiac abnormalities in end stage renal failure and anaemia.
Thirteen anaemic children on dialysis were assessed to determine the incidence of cardiac changes in end stage renal failure. Nine children had an increased cardiothoracic ratio on radiography. The electrocardiogram was abnormal in every case but no child had left ventricular hypertrophy as assessed by voltage criteria. However, left ventricular hypertrophy, often gross, was found on echocardio...
متن کاملNon-cardiac benefits of human recombinant erythropoietin in end stage renal failure and anaemia.
Recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEpo) is now available to correct the anaemia of end stage renal failure. The clinical consequences of increasing the haemoglobin concentration in children on dialysis are incompletely documented; a placebo controlled study is essential when assessing subjective changes, for example in appetite or other aspects of quality of life. A single blind, placebo con...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T and I in end-stage renal failure.
BACKGROUND In patients suffering from end-stage renal failure, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) may be increased in serum without other signs of acute myocardial damage. Whether these increases are specific to myocardial injury or nonspecific is not completely clear. METHODS We investigated time courses of cTnT and cTnI over 1 year and the clinical outcome over 2 years in 59 patients wi...
متن کاملManaging Anaemia in End Stage Renal Disease
Anaemia is virtually universal, irrespective of aetiology or stage in patients, with Chronic Kidney Disease,including transplant-associated CKD. Anaemia a multi-factorial risk factor for the progression of CKD to End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD), reduces the quality of life and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Degree of anaemia is a reflection of severity of chronic kidney d...
متن کاملCardiac structural and functional abnormalities in end stage renal disease patients with elevated cardiac troponin T.
OBJECTIVES To identify in a prospective observational study the cardiac structural and functional abnormalities and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) with a raised cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentration. METHODS 126 renal transplant candidates were studied over a two year period. Clinical, biochemical, echocardiographic, coronary angiographic, and dobutamine stress ec...
