Fluid overload hides true lung pressure in dialysis patients, study aims to unmask it

This study looks at why people with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis often develop high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). Fluid buildup can make this condition seem worse than it is. Researchers will first correct fluid levels, then use heart ultrasound and, if needed, a catheter to measure lung pressures accurately. The goal is to find the true rate and types of pulmonary hypertension in this group.
