Inflammation is an amplifier of lung congestion by high lv filling pressure in hemodialysis patients: a longitudinal study.

CONCLUSION: In ESKD systemic inflammation is a modifier of the relationship between LAVI, an integrate measure of LV filling pressure, and lung water. For any given pressure, lung water is increased with higher CRP levels, likely reflecting a higher permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier.
