This review discusses the mechanisms of cardiovascular complications in end-stage renal disease and the role of dialysis access.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Provides mechanistic overview for ESRD access management; leaves open causal links and optimal strategies for prospective trials.
Cardiovascular complications are responsible not only for the high mortality, but also the morbidity of end-stage renal disease patients. Cyclic changes of fluid load, together with the altered metabolism, are responsible and are mirrored in many particular parts of the heart. A review of the mechanisms involved is presented and the role of dialysis access is highlighted.
