WCN25-2478 DRY-WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BY VARIOUS METHODS AND EFFECT ON LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS AND LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS INDEX IN PATIENTS ON HEMODIALYSIS

Cardiac and cerebrovascular events are the leading cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis, more than 50% of all deaths with known causes. Hypervolemia is one of the strongest risk factors for mortality in these patients. Profibrotic changes in the heart and the vascular bed due to hypervolemia is considered to be one of the main triggering factors in the pathway leading to LV hypertrophy and dysfunction in dialysis. Cardiac preload and LV dilatation are main adaptive response to increase the heart muscle's pumping ability.
