Why the study?

Does hemodialysis alter left ventricular diastolic function indices and BNP levels in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease?

Population

30 children with chronic kidney disease on regular hemodialysis

Comparison

Hemodialysis vs Pre-hemodialysis baseline

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

Immediately before and after hemodialysis

Implication

TDI may aid diastolic assessment in pediatric HD; hypothesis-generating and requires larger validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does hemodialysis alter left ventricular diastolic function indices and BNP levels in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease?

P

Population

30 children with chronic kidney disease on regular hemodialysis

I

Intervention

Hemodialysis

C

Comparator

Pre-hemodialysis baseline

O

Outcome

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic indices (measured by conventional pulsed-wave Doppler and tissue Doppler imaging) and plasma BNP levelssurrogate

Hemodialysis significantly alters echocardiographic indices of LV diastolic function and BNP levels in pediatric patients, suggesting BNP's diagnostic utility may be influenced by volume shifts.
