Major and minor risk factors for cardiovascular disease in peritoneal dialysis

S Prichard

Nephrology Division, Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

All uremic patients have multiple risk factors for CAD including in many, the conditions that caused their ESRD--for example, diabetes and hypertension. conventional risk factors--for example, dyslipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia. risk factors that are unique to uremia--for example, calcium and phosphate abnormalities. PD patients have particular risk with respect to their lipid status and hyperinsulinemia. Many of these risks are potentially modifiable, but evidence does not exist to assess the impact of treatment on clinical outcomes. Therefore, current decisions for therapy directed at risk factor modification must be made on an individual basis.
