导论.肺动脉高压（PH）在透析患者中很常见，与生存率降低相关。PH和肾移植受者存活率之间的可能关联以前尚未评估。在这项回顾性研究中，我们使用心脏超声心动图和右心室收缩压（RVSP）测量对215名移植候选人进行了移植前PH筛查。68%的患者RVSP正常（
Introduction. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in patients on dialysis where it is associated with reduced Survival. The possible association between PH and kidney transplant recipient survival has not been previously evaluated.Methods. In this retrospective study, we screened for PH pretransplant in 215 transplant candidates using cardiac echocardiography and measurements of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP).Results. Sixty-eight percent of patients had normal RVSP (
