Key result
Hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease is associated with a 32%-58% prevalence of pulmonary hypertension, compared to 12%-42% for peritoneal dialysis.
Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those on hemodialysis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is relatively common among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). PH is most prevalent in patients undergoing hemodialysis, ranging from 32%-58%, depending on the definition of PH used. The reported incidence of PH is less frequent for patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (12%-42%), and renal transplant recipients are typically the least likely to have PH than either of these dialysis cohorts.1–6

Amresh Raina (2013) conducted a review in Pulmonary hypertension in chronic kidney disease. Dialysis modality (hemodialysis vs peritoneal dialysis vs renal transplant) was evaluated. Hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease is associated with a 32%-58% prevalence of pulmonary hypertension, compared to 12%-42% for peritoneal dialysis.
