ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CHANGES OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION IN END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS BEFORE AND AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluating change of right ventricular morphology and function by echocardiography in end-stage renal disease patients before and 1 month after kidney transplantation. Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional study. 37 patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who underwent kidney transplant at 103 Military Hospital from November, 2022 to May, 2023. Performing echocardiography to evaluate change of some indicators of right ventricular morphology and function before and 1 month after kidney transplantation. Results: RVOT before (23.02 ± 3.69 mm) was larger than after transplantation (21.20 ± 3.50 mm), p < 0.05. RV4CSL, RVFWSL after were significantly better than before transplantation (-21.14% ± 3.90% versus -17.58% ± 4.82% and -24.81% ± 4.58% versus -20.59% ± 6.10%, respectively, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The results of this study appeared that RVOT, RV4CSL, RVFWSL after 1 month were better than before kidney transplantation
