CORRELATION OF PAH WITH CLINICAL VARIABLES AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN CKD
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Pulmonary hypertension is an overlooked cardiovascular complication in chronic kidney disease. It has impact on morbidity of CKD. Aim : To assess prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in CKD and to correlate PAH with clinical and biochemical parameters. Material and method: Our study included 120 CKD patients; 79 on hemodialysis and 41 on conservative management. Detailed history, examination, and laboratory investigations were obtained. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure were evaluated by echocardiography. Results: Out of 120 patients 28.33% had PAH. PAH was more in group on hemodialysis and in cases with AV fistula. Prevalence of PAH had significant correlation with longer duration of dialysis, low haemoglobin, high blood urea & serum creatinine and low serum bicarbonate. Diabetes and hypertension was not associated with PAH. Serum uric acid was not high in PAH.
