Valvular calcification and left ventricular modifying in peritoneal dialysis patients.

abstract：:Cognitive dysfunction is a well-known complication of chronic renal failure that is evident in 30% of hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the pathogenesis of this dysfunction is unknown. Left ventricular hypertrophy could develop in hypertensive HD patients without establishing normovolemia. Our aim was to evaluate t...
