One of the most severe cardiovascular complications encountered in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is pulmonary hypertension (PH). Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH) is supposed to be one of the contributing mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of PH in these patients.The aim of our study is to determine if the elevated values of intact parathormone (iPTH) are correlated with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients ESRD undergoing HD.Our study was conducted on 51 patients with ESRD undergoing HD. We assessed in all patients the levels of iPTH, as well as the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPs) and PVR by means of echocardiography. According to the levels of PAPs, patients were classified into two subgroups: 27 with 24 without PH.We documented a moderate correlation between iPTH and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs), respectively PVR in patients with PH. In patients without PH there were no significant correlations between iPAH and PVR, respectively PAPs.
