Chest ultrasound and hidden lung congestion in peritoneal dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Chest ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive well-validated technique for estimating extravascular lung water (LW) in patients with heart diseases and in end-stage renal disease. We systematically applied this technique to the whole peritoneal dialysis (PD) population of five dialysis units. METHODS We studied the cross-sectional association between LW, echocardiographic parameters, cli...
متن کاملComparison of Marital Satisfaction in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Alternative kidney treatments, including renal transplantation, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD), are administered when severe kidney failure occurs and the kidney can no longer function. The present study compares different dimensions of marital satisfaction in HD and PD patients so as to assist physicians and patients in choosing their appropriate treatment. This cross-se...
متن کاملUnexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients.
OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of unexplained pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and to compare laboratory parameters between patients with unexplained PAH and those with normal pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 278 chronic HD and 145 chronic PD patients. Laboratory find...
متن کاملDetection of pulmonary congestion by chest ultrasound in dialysis patients.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate clinical and echocardiographic correlates of the lung comets score. BACKGROUND Early detection of pulmonary congestion is a fundamental goal for the prevention of congestive heart failure in high-risk patients. METHODS We undertook an inclusive survey by a validated ultrasound (US) technique in a hemodialysis center to estimate the prevalence of p...
متن کاملEvaluation of Physical Symptoms in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis
Introduction. Little is known about physical symptoms in peritoneal dialysis (PD) Patients. This study aims to determine the prevalence of symptoms (general and abdominal) in PD patients. Methods. A cross-sectional study, with subsequent followup, using an author-designed 21 symptoms questionnaire (15 nonabdominal and 6 abdominal). Each symptom was assessed on a scale 0-3 for severity (none-sev...
