Abstract Purpose: Elevated central venous pressure (CVP) has deleterious effects on several organ systems
in patients with Fontan circulation. However, the relationship between CVP and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has not been assessed in patients with Fontan circulation.
Methods: Patients with Fontan circulation whose hemodynamics were assessed by catheterization
between 1987 and 2015 and had a serum creatinine measured within 72 hours prior to the procedure were included for analysis. Patients with primary kidney disease were excluded. Renal
function was calculated by “bedside Schwartz” equation in children (< 18 years) and Modification
of Diet in Renal Disease equation in adults.… More >
