Abstract

Objective To explore potential related factors of left ventricular hypertrophy in maintenance hemodialy?sis (MHD) patients. Methods Sixty patients were enrolled in the study. Echocardiography was performed to exam LVH in?dexes. There are forty-three patients with LVH (LVH group), and seventeen patients without LVH (non-LVH group). Clini?cal data were collected to exam the levels of hemoglobin (HGB), creatinine (Cr), parathyrin (iPTH), albumin (ALB), triglycer?ide (TG), cholesterol(CHO), calcium(Ca), phosphorus(P), advanced oxygen protein products (AOPP) and C reactive protein (CRP). Results Compared with non-LVH group, age, BP, iPTH, AOPP were higher in LVH group patients while BMI and other biochemistry index does not show any statistical difference. Multiple linear stepwise regressions analysis shows that SBP, iPTH and AOPP are correlated factors to left ventricle mass index (LVMI). Conclusion LVH is prevalent in MHD pa?tients. BP, iPTH and AOPP are the risk factors for LVH.
