May support echocardiographic surveillance in older CAPD patients with angina; leaves open whether peritoneal dialysis accelerates valvular sclerosis.
Cohort (n=24)
In patients with end-stage renal disease treated with CAPD, valvular sclerosis is highly prevalent and progressive, particularly in older patients and those with angina.
Jürgen Hüting (1992) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease (n=24). Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was evaluated on Prevalence and progression of valvular abnormalities. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in end-stage renal disease patients was associated with frequent valvular sclerosis over 35 months, including 100% prevalence in the aortic annulus.
