Overview

This review highlights pulmonary hypertension's association with arteriovenous access in ESRD patients, suggesting urgent screening and management needs.

Key Points

  • Pulmonary hypertension is prevalent among dialysis patients with end stage renal disease, impacting overall health.
  • The presence of an arteriovenous access is linked to elevated risks of pulmonary hypertension in renal patients.
  • An enlarged left atrium is a significant indicator of poor prognosis in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
  • Early screening and management of pulmonary hypertension in ESRD patients could greatly reduce morbidity and mortality.
