Fluid overload in PD was associated with diastolic BP and eccentric LVH; leaves open whether volume optimization improves CV outcomes versus RTx.
Does fluid status correlate with blood pressure and cardiovascular abnormalities in stable peritoneal dialysis patients compared to renal transplant patients?
In peritoneal dialysis patients, overhydration is common and significantly correlates with diastolic blood pressure and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, highlighting the importance of fluid management.
Konings et al. (2002) studied this question.
