Spirometric parameters: hemodialysis compared to peritoneal dialysis

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Renal failure affects the mechanical and the ventilatory function of the lungs. A few studies have evaluated the ventilatory and pulmonary function in dialysis patients. The present study aimed to compare pulmonary function test [PFT] results in patients undergoing hemodialysis [Hd] and peritoneal dialysis [PD]
