This research study follows people on kidney dialysis to understand how often they develop high pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs, what causes it, and how it affects their health over time. Researchers will use heart ultrasounds, blood tests, and special heart imaging to identify who has this condition and track how they do for up to two years.
High pressure in the lung blood vessels is a serious but poorly understood problem in dialysis patients. This study aims to find the warning signs and biomarkers that predict who will develop this condition, so doctors can detect and treat it earlier.

You will have a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) the day after one of your regular dialysis sessions. If the ultrasound shows you may have lung blood pressure problems, you'll receive additional tests including a special heart catheterization, lung function tests, and lung imaging. You'll then visit the clinic at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months so doctors can monitor your health and adjust your care as needed according to standard treatment guidelines.
