Abstract
In maintenance-dialysis patients, statistically significant independent predictors of death that are present before treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) begins include age, duration of diabetes, and left-sided heart failure [1]. Death is most often due to cardiac disease, which accounted for 36% of deaths in Canada in 1988 (figure 3–1) [2]. Despite multiple advances in the therapy of chronic uremia, cardiac disease has always been the most important cause of death. The most common autopsy-ascertained causes of death in nondiabetic patients are congestive heart failure (37%), acute myocardial infarction (13%), and tamponading pericarditis (8%) [3].
