Abstract
Long-term survival with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis is uncommon, mainly because of the high mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. To define the clinical characteristics of long-term ESRD survivors, especially their cardiovascular risk profile, patients were identified with > or = 15 years of ESRD having at least 10 years on dialysis. Seventeen patients were identified with a duration of ESRD of 21.0 +/- 4.3 years (mean +/- SD). The age of the patients at the initiation of dialysis was 38.4 +/- 14.5 years. Eighty-eight percent of the survivors were white, and 12% were African-American. The primary causes of ESRD were glomerulonephritis, 65%; polycystic kidney disease, 18%; tubulointerstitial/obstructive disorders, 12%; and hypertension, 6%. At the initiation of dialysis, these long-term survivors presented with a low prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, 53%; diabetes mellitus, 0%; active smoking, 11.8%; family history, 25%) and cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, 5.9%; congestive heart failure, 5.9%; arrhythmias, 0%; peripheral vascular disease, 0%; and cerebrovascular disease, 5.9%). In addition, only 6.6% of the long-term ESRD survivors presented with systolic blood pr...Continue Reading
