Why the study?
Does renal transplantation improve echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function compared to continued hemodialysis?
Does renal transplantation improve echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function compared to continued hemodialysis?
Contrary to previous reports, successful renal transplantation did not reverse left ventricular hypertrophy or improve diastolic function compared to continued hemodialysis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Renal transplantation may not reduce LV mass or improve diastolic function; leaves open cardiac benefits versus continued hemodialysis.
Lima et al. (1995) studied this question.
