Aim: To study the remodeling of the left ventricle(LV) of the heart in CKD 5D patients in Tashkent region of Uzbekistan.

Background: LV hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for death in dialysis patients with CKD. In Uzbekistan at the moment there are about 3000 people in need of hemodialysis and most of them are in Tashkent region of the country.

Methods:104 (51 men and 53 women) CKD 5D patients permanently resided in Tashkent were examined. The average age of the surveyed was 49.7±11.7 years. The main initial diseases were glomerulonephritis (36.5%, n = 38), diabetes mellitus (31.7%, n = 33%) and urolithiasis (10.6%, n = 11). The average duration of HD was 37.0±4.77 months. LV  hypertrophy was diagnosed with LVMI values equal to or exceeding normal values.

Results: The study showed concentric hypertrophy, eccentric hypertrophy, and concentric LV remodeling. Normal LV geometry was not determined in any patient. 62(59.6%) patients had concentric LV myocardial hypertrophy, 10(9.6%) patients had concentric LV remodeling, 32(30.8%) patients had eccentric LV hypertrophy. Indicators of IVS thickness averaged 13.0±2.1 mm, PWLV thickness 12.1±2.0 mm, LVM 310.8±22.73 g, LVMI 169.6±12.26 g/m2.

Conclusion: All studied CKD 5D patients in Tashkent region had LV remodeling. More than 90% of the examined patients had LV hypertrophy. The most common are concentric remodeling (59.6%) and eccentric remodeling (30.8%) of the left ventricle..
