OP-146 The Relationship Between Parathyroid Hormone Level and Pulmonary Artery Stiffness in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease




Background


Pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) is a new echocardiographic parameter, which can be used to estimate the elastic properties of pulmonary arterial vasculature noninvasively. We aimed to assess the elastic properties of pulmonary artery with echocardiography in chronic kidney disease patients without prominent pulmonary hypertension.




Material-Method


Fifty-five patients diagnosed as CKD were retrospectively evaluated. Cardiovascular surgery, pulmonary hypertension and chronic obstructive disease were defined as exclusion criteria. PAS was calculated according to the following formula as the ratio of maximal flow velocity shift of pulmonary flow (MFV) to pulmonary acceleration time (AcT): PAS (kHz/sec) = MFV/AcT.
