Abstract
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a spectrum of pathophysiological processes and condition which usually presents with fluid overload leading to accumulation of fluid in pleural or peritoneal cavities. Here is an attempt to study the profile of pleural effusion in chronic kidney disease patients.
Methodology: A sample size of 40 patients was taken on OPD and IPD basis and pleural fluid was studied and results were analysed. It was a cross sectional study.
Results: The study showed male predominance. Transudative effusions were noted in 75 % of cases and the most common cause of transudative pleural effusion was cardiac failure and most common presentation was cough. In exudative effusion, tubercular pleural effusions were the most common cause in our series.
Keywords: Chronic kidney disease, pleural effusion, exudative, transudative .
