What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cross-Sectional. Population: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=177). Intervention: Elevated DBP, NT-proBNP, and echocardiographic abnormalities vs. Patients without these risk factors. Primary outcome: Prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

What does this research mean for the field?

Pulmonary arterial hypertension affects 36.52% of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, with elevated diastolic blood pressure, NT-proBNP, and specific echocardiographic abnormalities serving as major risk factors. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Implication

PAH evaluation may be warranted in CAPD patients; leaves open prospective validation of risk factors and outcomes.

Population

177 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis evaluated for the prevalence and risk factors of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Outcome

Prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and identification of its risk factors

There is a high prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (36.52%) among ESRD patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, with several echocardiographic and clinical parameters serving as significant risk factors.

Zhang et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=177). Elevated DBP, NT-proBNP, and echocardiographic abnormalities vs. Patients without these risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Elevated DBP, NT-proBNP, and specific echocardiographic abnormalities were identified as major risk factors for pulmonary arterial hypertension, which affected 36.52% of ESRD patients on CAPD.
