The Conundrum of Thoracic Radiological Signs in Patients Having Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Who are on Haemodialysis

Abstract

It is quite common in the practice of a pulmonologist to come across patients having pulmonary symptoms in the background of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is also owing to the fact that advances in the medical field such as haemodialysis result in significant prolongation of survival in these terminally ill patients. However, this leads to emergence of a newer plethora of systemic manifestations which require further investigation and management.
