Pulmonary hypertension prevalence was 41.53% in hemodialysis patients (mean systolic PAP 49.33 ± 9.18 mmHg), 16.66% in peritoneal dialysis (43 ± 1.41 mmHg), and 22.72% in conservative management (44.8 ± 5.89 mmHg).

Overview

Elevated pulmonary hypertension rates across CKD groups merit clinical awareness; cross-sectional data leaves open causality, screening value, and dialysis effects.

Structured PICO

What is the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension among CKD patients on and without dialysis?

P
Population
99 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including 65 on hemodialysis, 12 on peritoneal dialysis, and 22 on conservative management.
O
Outcome
Prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (evaluated by systolic pulmonary artery pressure via Doppler echocardiography)surrogate

Pulmonary hypertension is highly prevalent in CKD patients, particularly those with ESRD receiving long-term hemodialysis.
