Echocardiography
October 2014
Unlabelled: Cardiac disease frequently occurs in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing dialysis (DI), but it is not well studied in patients undergoing conservative treatment (CT). The aim of our study was to use echocardiography to analyze and compare the cardiac involvement of children with CKD undergoing DI or CT.
Methods: Seventy-one children with CKD were included; 41 undergoing DI and 30 undergoing CT.
