Slower RRF decline was associated with favorable LV remodeling in incident PD; hypothesis-generating, prospective trials needed before practice change.
Does a faster rate of residual renal function decline worsen echocardiographic parameters and clinical outcomes in incident peritoneal dialysis patients?
Preservation of residual renal function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients is associated with improved cardiac structural parameters and better clinical outcomes.
