Abstract
Objective: This study investigates the arterial elasticity (Ea), end-systolic left (Ees) and the ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (ESKD). Subject and method: The study included two groups: Diseased group: 67 patients diagnosed with ESKD and undergoing treatment at 103 Military Hospital from August 2023 to December 2023. Control group: 32 healthy individuals undergoing health checks and preparing for kidney donation. Result: The arterial elastance (Ea) of the ESKD group (316 ± 94mmHg/ml) was significantly higher than that of the control group (276 ± 75mmHg/ml) (p=0.004). The ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) index of the ESKD group (0.72 ± 0.19) was higher than that of the control group (0.61 ± 0.08) (p=0.003). Conclusion: The ESKD group exhibited higher Ea and VAC indices compared to the control group. Ees in the < 50 age group is lower than in the > 50 age group. VAC in the <50 age group is higher than in the > 50 age group.
