Changes in renal function in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Estimated GFR based on Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration-creatinine-cystatin C will be used to determine renal function at baseline and at 1 year follow-up
Time frame: 1 year
Changes in hydration status in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Bioimpedance analysis will be used to determine hydration status at baseline and at 1 year follow-up
Time frame: 1 year
Changes in nutritional status in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Bioimpedance analysis will be used to determine lean tissue and fat mass at baseline and at 1 year follow-up
Time frame: 1 year
Prognostic value of baseline renal function, hydration and nutritional status on pulmonary hypertension-associated morbidity and mortality
pulmonary hypertension-associated morbidity and mortality (defined as escalation of pulmonary hypertension-specific therapy, unscheduled hospitalization and all-cause mortality) will be prospectively assessed during follow-up period
Time frame: 1 year
