Official Title: The Impact of Conventional Hemodialysis and Renal Transplantation on the Global Longitudinal Strain of the Left Ventricle
Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to evaluate a group of patients with chronic kidney disease in stages 3-5 by conventional 2D echocardiography, tissue Doppler techniques and speckle tracking - LV GLS and determine the correlation of ultrasound parameters with mortality. Additionally, fibrosis-related biomarkers will be studied in this population.
