Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), affecting 30%-50% of patients and linked to higher mortality rates.
- A study of 108 CKD patients revealed that the presence of PH increased over time, with significant associations found between PH and factors like heart failure, anemia, and fluid retention.
- Key findings included that the majority of patients had moderate PH at the start, and the severity of PH was related to the progression of CKD stages, although differences weren't always statistically significant.

Methods: Over a 2 and a half year period, all patients with type 2 diabetes who presented with documented doubling of serum creatinine in less than 4 weeks or recently diagnosed advanced renal failure were identified.
