Abstract
IntroductionThe aim of this study was to investigate changes in echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) indices in relation to the degree of fluid accumulation between hemodialysis sessions, evaluated according to the recommended threshold of interdialytic‐weight‐gain corrected for dry weight (IDWG%).MethodsA post‐hoc analysis was performed using data from 41 maintenance hemodialysis patients. Patients were divided into a higher (>4.5%) and a lower (<4.5%) IDWG% group and underwent an echocardiographic assessment at the start and the end of the 3‐day and the 2‐day interdialytic interval.ResultsRV systolic pressure (RVSP) increments were more pronounced in the higher compared to the lower IDWG% group (16.43 ± 5.37 vs. 14.11 ± 13.38 mm Hg respectively, p = 0.015) over the 3‐day interval, while changes in RV filling pressures, did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.84).ConclusionsDuring the 3‐day interdialytic interval, pulmonary circulation is particularly overloaded in patients with fluid accumulation higher than the recommended thresholds, as evidenced by higher RVSP elevations.
