Pulmonary Function in Uremic Patients on Long‐term Hemodialysis

Abstract: Twenty patients with end-stage renal failure who were on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) underwent pulmonary function testing (PFT) before and shortly after an HD session. On pre-HD PFT, the mean values of all parameters except residual volume (RV) were in the normal range. Mean RV was high (152.9%), and mean diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) was high-normal (110.4%). The pre-HD static inspiratory (PImax) and expiratory pressures (PEmax) were much lower than normal (67.4% and 36.3%, respe… Show more

“…They evaluated CKF patients who underwent CAPD and found decreased MIP in patients with CKF (59.6% of predicted values), compared with controls (82.7% of predicted values). Other authors 14,33,35 have also found results similar to those found in the present study. There is a consensus that respiratory muscle strength is decreased, and the pathogenesis of this condition is similar to what is observed in peripheral muscles.…”

“…However, the present authors propose that the main disorders associated with these results are the following: chronic and often subclinical pulmonary edema; decreased serum albumin with consequent water and protein imbalance in the microcirculation; interstitial fibrosis and calcification of the lung parenchyma and bronchial tree; recurrent infections; and alveolitis and fibrosis due to corticosteroid therapy in immunosuppressed patients. Studies that evaluate lung function in patients with CKF undergoing dialysis and after kidney transplantation have described results similar to those found in the present study and help to explain the lesion mechanisms 14,[31][32][33] .…”

“…(4,5) In another study, MIP was also found to be decreased after hemodialysis sessions. (19) The results of those studies were not replicated in our study, possibly due to differences in duration of hemodialysis. In comparison with the study mentioned above, (19) for example, the duration of hemodialysis (85 ± 41 months) was considerably shorter in our study (median, 27 months; IR, 14-55).…”

In comparison with the study mentioned above, (19) for example, the duration of hemodialysis (85 ± 41 months) was considerably shorter in our study (median, 27 months; IR, 14-55). Since we found duration of hemodialysis to present a significant negative correlation with MIP and MEP (Figure 2), the patients in the study conducted by Karacan et al (4) would have actually been expected to exhibit a more pronounced decrease in MIP.…”

“…These findings supported the involvement of small airways detected by spirometry. Various studies reported similar results (7,(52)(53)(54). Small airway disease may be attributed to the following conditions: chronic and often subclinical pulmonary edema, decreased serum albumin with consequent water and protein imbalance in microcirculation, recurrent infections, interstitial fibrosis, and alveolitis (7,(52)(53)(54).…”
