Key result
Pulmonary hypertension was present in 47% of chronic hemodialysis patients and was associated with significantly higher 12-month mortality compared to those without pulmonary hypertension (26% vs 6%).

Pulmonary hypertension is highly prevalent in chronic hemodialysis patients and is associated with significantly increased 12-month mortality.
A 2010 study conducted a cross-sectional in chronic hemodialysis (n=90). Pulmonary hypertension vs. No pulmonary hypertension was evaluated on mortality at 12 months. Pulmonary hypertension was present in 47% of chronic hemodialysis patients and was associated with significantly higher 12-month mortality compared to those without pulmonary hypertension (26% vs 6%).
