Echocardiography in patients of end stage renal failure (non diabetic) on regular haemodialysis revealed increase in left ventricular mass index in comparison to healthy controls. Anaemia, chronic uraemic state and hypertension were the probable contributory factors.

D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
