Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence of pericardial effusion and its risk factors in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing long-term dialysis, highlighting its importance due to associated complications like tamponade and heart failure.
- - Out of 132 patients studied, 12.9% had mild pericardial effusion, and factors like gender and age showed no significant differences among those affected.
- - The findings suggest that echocardiography can be a valuable and cost-effective tool for evaluating dialysis effectiveness in these patients, indicating a need for further research into related laboratory parameters.
