Why the study?

Does peritoneal dialysis compared to hemodialysis affect cardiovascular changes such as left ventricular mass index in dialysis patients?

Population

45 dialysis patients (23 hemodialysis and 22 peritoneal dialysis patients)

Comparison

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) vs Hemodialysis (HD)

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

Higher LVMI in PD may signal elevated hypertrophy risk; leaves open whether modality causally influences cardiac remodeling.

Structured PICO

Does peritoneal dialysis compared to hemodialysis affect cardiovascular changes such as left ventricular mass index in dialysis patients?

P
Population
45 dialysis patients (23 hemodialysis and 22 peritoneal dialysis patients)
I
Intervention
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)
C
Comparator
Hemodialysis (HD)
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular changes including left ventricular mass index (LVMI), cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), and aortic arch calcification (AAC)surrogate

Peritoneal dialysis patients may have a higher left ventricular mass index and cardiothoracic ratio compared to hemodialysis patients, highlighting the need for strict fluid and metabolic monitoring to mitigate cardiovascular risk.
