Description
Zhen Ai and co-authors compare lung pressure risk in dialysis patients by age in a 2026 study. High pressure in the lung arteries is common and deadly in people on long-term dialysis. The team studied nearly one hundred eighty patients with heart scans, split into younger and older groups, and followed them for about three years.
Lung pressure trouble hit about a quarter of younger patients and a third of older ones. A heart strain marker led risk in both groups. A fat-related ratio mattered only for the young, while diabetes mattered only for the old. Having the condition raised death and hospital risk at all ages. Readers get age-tailored screening clues.
