Abstract
Chronic kidney disease affects almost all systems of the body and results in various abnormalities, leaving significant morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of CKD progresses through stages and it is well known that patients are more likely to die than to progress to end stage renal disease. Heart and kidney are inextricably linked in terms of hemodynamic and regulatory functions. 2 D echocardiography is a very helpful, inexpensive and non-invasive tool for detecting early cardiac dysfunction. In the present study cardiac profile of patients with chronic kidney disease with the help of echocardiography and to correlate the findings with the GFR.
Keywords: Echocardiography, chronic kidney disease, LVH.
