ASSESSMENT OF PULMONARY FUNCTIONS IN CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT HAEMODIALYSIS REGIMEN

Abstract


Interestingly, in chronic renal failure patients who have many systems affection, the pulmonary system is uniquely affected:
• By the chronic renal failure disease process itself.

• Renal dialysis therapy.

• Complications: as hypoxemia, acid-base imbalance, .... are magnified if there is cardiovascular system compromise which is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic renal failure patients.

Uraemic lung and pleural effusion, which is the fluid overload pattern induced by renal failure disease process seems to improve by dialysis, but other many manifestations as: pulmonary calcification, infection and tuberculosis, membrane diffusion defect, impaired ventilatory response to carbon dioxide, restrictive ventilatory response, bronchial hyperreactivity (obstruction), etc. behave differently in
response to renal dialysis therapy.
