Abstract
In this study of pulmonary function tests in chronic renal failure patients, 20 controls + 40 patients (20 on thrice / week hemodialysis and 20 on daily dialysis) were included. There was a restrictive ventilatory disturbance as evidenced by decreased forced vital capacity, decreased forced expiratory volume in the first second with peaked expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory flow in 25-75% range and 50% range. Also, there was a significant negative correlation between blood urea, serum creatinine with FEV1, FEF25-75%, 50% and PEFR. There was a significant reduction in the restrictive pattern of daily dialysis patients with no obstructive type of pulmonary function tests.
