Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) significantly reduces apelin levels in hemodialysis patients compared to those without PAH, highlighting a potential link between the disease and apelin deficiency.
- The study involved 80 hemodialysis patients divided into two groups, with apelin levels measured using a specific assay, finding that PAH patients had lower average apelin levels (54.87 ng/L) than those without PAH (76.85 ng/L).
- Results indicated that hemodialysis adequacy does not influence apelin levels or pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with PAH.
