Dialysis, particularly haemodialysis, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study confirms that hypokalaemia confers an excess cardiovascular risk and contributes disproportionately to the high risk of death in patients on peritoneal dialysis, which may partially account for the fact that observed cardiac risk is similar for patients on peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis.
透析，特别是血液透析，与心血管疾病风险增加有关。一项新的研究证实，低钾血症会带来额外的心血管风险，并不成比例地导致腹膜透析患者的死亡风险升高，这可能部分解释了观察到的腹膜透析和血液透析患者的心脏风险相似的原因。
