AimThe evidence about prevalence, associated factors of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and its impact on patient's outcomes is limited.MethodsWe included 211 haemodialysis patients, we estimated the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) by 2D Doppler echocardiography defining PH as a SPAP above 35mmHg, the median follow-up was 39 (19-56) moths, and the primary endpoints were all cause mortality and cardiovascular events.ResultsWe found PH in 91 patients (43.9%). Independent determinants of PH were age, previous cardiovascular disease, the Nt-pro-BNP level hs-TnT, the systolic dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy. Over the follow-up 94 cardiovascular events occurred, variables associated were: PH, age, history cardiovascular disease, dyslipidaemia, elevated concentration of Nt-pro-BNP and hs-TnT, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, in a multivariate model, the PH maintained its independent association. Mortality data: 88 patients died (41.7%); 35 (29.5%) in the no PH group and 53 (58.5%) in the PH group (P
