Pulmonary Hypertension in Hemodialysis Patients and Its Determinants: A Hospital Based Cross-Sectional Study
PH is a common finding in hemodialysis patients and is independently associated with serum levels of albumin, serum levels of triglyceride, and right atrial diameter; this suggests that evaluating these non-invasive and relatively easily available parameters may be useful in identifying patients with a high risk of PH. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings.
