Abstract:
Volume overload or hidden lung congestion is emerging as a pervasive problem in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis,which will lead to cardiovascular complications and impact the patients' life quality and survival time,so how to improve volume control in patients on hemodialysis is a urgent research hotspot.Recently,the ap plication of lung ultrasound for semi-quantitative assessment pulmonary congestion in patients on hemodialysis has received general concern.Lung ultrasound not only can detect excessive extravascular lung water in the early period of pulmonary congestion,but also can predict cardiac events and mortality in ESRD.Lung ultrasound is an effective,sensitive,real-time and non-invasive tool beside.The application and progresses of lung ultrasound in evaluation of pulmonary congestion in hemodialysis patients were reviewed in this article.
