Abstract
Background
Patients with end-stage renal disease are exposed to extreme volume shifts and thereby cardiovascular strain as a consequence of interdialytic weight gain, fluid removal during hemodialysis and also chronic fluid overload. In long-term hemodialysis patients, higher IDWG (interdialytic weight gain) is associated with poor survival and increased cardiovascular death. Patients with the lowest interdialytic fluid retention have the greatest survival.
It was found that increased interdialytic volume load is associated with increased both LVMI and FGF-23 level.
Objective
To evaluate correlation between hypervolemia, left ventricular hypertrophy and FGF-23 in prevalent hemodialysis patients.
Patients and Methods
This cross sectional study was conducted in Ain shams university hospital and Al Agoza hospital, on 60 prevalent hemodialysis patients.Three patient died during the study.
Results
FGF-23 had a positive correlation with (weight gain, (PO4)3-, PTH, IVS, PW and LVMI).
Conclusion
FGF-23 might be a marker of volume overload and LVH in ESRD patients, as it positively correlated with (weight gain, IVS, PW and LVMI). FGF-23 is a marker of bone diseases, as it positively correlated with (PO4)3- and PTH. Volume overload has a negative impact on morbidity and mortality in ESRD patients.
Relationship in Interdialytic Weight Gain between Indices of Optimal Dialysis and Nutritional Parameters in chronic hemodialysis patients.
