Key result
Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease did not significantly change left ventricular diastolic or right ventricular functions, but impaired left ventricular systolic functions.

May warrant cautious echo interpretation in ESRD on hemodialysis; leaves open prognostic impact and need for prospective confirmation.

Does maintenance hemodialysis alter echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease does not significantly affect most left ventricular diastolic or right ventricular functions in the relatively long term, although it increases left atrial diameter and impairs left ventricular systolic function.
Duran et al. (2010) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease (n=42). Maintenance hemodialysis vs. Baseline (before hemodialysis) was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic function. Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease did not significantly change left ventricular diastolic or right ventricular functions, but impaired left ventricular systolic functions.
