In @entity5507 , @entity296 manifests itself as @entity299 , concentric left ventricular (LV) @entity1184 , or @entity5988 . To determine the impact of renal transplantation on @entity296 , all dialysis @entity1 participating in a long-term cohort study who received a successful renal transplant were followed with echocardiography. The transplanted group comprised 102 of 433 (24%) @entity8 ( @entity8 ) @entity1 . They were significantly younger and, on starting @entity8 therapy, had significantly less @entity741 and @entity712 than the overall @entity8 cohort. During followup, @entity741 developed in only 1 @entity1 and none experienced @entity712 . In the 12% (n = 12) of @entity1 with @entity299 before renal transplant, fractional shortening normalized in all @entity1 , increasing from 21.5 +/- 4.6% to 33.5 +/- 5.6% after transplantation. In the 41% (n = 41) with concentric @entity4346 before transplantation, the LV mass index improved from 158 +/- 39 g/m2 to 132 +/- 39 g/m2. @entity5988 was present in 32% (n = 32) of @entity1 before transplantation. After transplantation, LV volume fell from 116 +/- 3.1 ml/m2 to 89 +/- 21 ml/m2, and LV mass index in this group fell from 166 +/- 55 g/m2 to 135 +/- 37 g/m2. It was not possible to associate risk factors characteristic of the uremic state with the improvement in cardiac structure and function, although the fall in LV mass was significantly associated with fall in blood pressure. We conclude that correction of the uremic state by renal transplantation leads to normalization of LV contractility in @entity299 , regression of @entity1184 in concentric @entity4346 , and improvement of cavity volume in @entity5988 . The degree of improvement suggests that dialysis @entity1 with @entity296 would benefit from renal transplantation.
