Abstract

Objective: Evaluate size and collapse index variation of the inferior vena cava before and after dialysis by 2D ultrasound before and after dialysis in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study in 70 chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis from January 2022 to June 2023. Measure the size of the inferior vena cava by ultrasound at the time before and after dialysis. Results: Results: Patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease on dialysis had the size of the inferior vena cava on ultrasound clearly reduced after dialysis: Dmax IVCe decreased from 1.8 ± 0.409 (cm) to 1.6 ± 0.365 (cm) (p<0.01), Dmax IVCi decreased from 1 ± 0.409 (cm) to 0.75 ± 0.32 (cm) (p <0.01); The IVC-CI inferior vena cava collapse index increased significantly after dialysis: from 0.42 ± 0.116 to 0.497 ± 0.134 (p<0.01). Conclusion: the size of the inferior vena cava decreased and the collapse index increased significantly after dialysis in chronic kidney disease patients with hemodialysis.
