ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine left ventricular [LV] mass index via echocardiography in end-stage renal disease patients [ESRD] before and after renal transplantation, and its association with one-year survival. Forty-seven patients with ESRD who were candidate for renal transplantation were evaluated with echocardiography before and 4 months after the operation. Left ventricular ejection fraction [EF], LV mass, and LV mass index were determined. All of the patients were followed up for 1 year. Mean LVEF was 51.6% which increased to 53.7% after renal transplantation [P = .001]. Mean LV mass was 209 gr before the operation which decreased to 189 gr after the operation [P = .001]. Mean LV mass index before the operation was 120 gr/m2 which decreased to 110 gr/m[2] following the operation [P = .002]. All of the patients survived during 1-year follow-up, and no death was reported. Renal transplantation had beneficial effects in terms of LV function in young patients with ESRD
