Why the study?
Data comparing echocardiographic right ventricular function between end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis were scarce.
Does hemodialysis compared to peritoneal dialysis impair right ventricular function in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Population
120 subjects, including ESRD patients with preserved LV function on PD or HD, and healthy controls
Comparison
Hemodialysis with arterio-venous fistula vs peritoneal dialysis vs healthy controls

RV function assessment in ESRD may vary by dialysis modality; leaves open optimal choice pending prospective trials.
Does hemodialysis compared to peritoneal dialysis impair right ventricular function in patients with end-stage renal disease?
In patients with end-stage renal disease, hemodialysis is associated with worse echocardiographic right ventricular function compared to peritoneal dialysis.
