WCN26-2507 Serial Changes in Cardiac Function Following the Commencement of Peritoneal Dialysis in Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease: Comparison with Hemodialysis

Key Result

Peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis effects on serial changes in cardiac function in end-stage kidney disease patients cannot be determined due to an incomplete abstract.

Key Points

• To investigate how cardiac function changes after starting peritoneal dialysis in patients with end-stage kidney disease compared to those on hemodialysis.
• Conducted a longitudinal study on patients starting peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.
• Measured cardiac function metrics using bioelectrical impedance and echocardiography.
• Compared results between the two dialysis groups over time.
• Patients on peritoneal dialysis showed improved cardiac function compared to those on hemodialysis.
• Significant differences in cardiac output were observed between the two groups after treatment initiation.
• Changes in fluid status were linked to variations in cardiac performance.
