Eighteen outpatients with clonic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis (HD) were studied. Immediately before and after HD, the left and right ventricular function measured by electrocardiogram gated radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) . By HD, body weight changed 58.6±7.50 kg to 57.2±6.80 kg and BUN level changed 67.9±29.00 mg/dl to 37.1±18.96 mg/dl and creatinine level changed 11.3±3.90 mg/dl to 6.8±2.48 mg/dl. Before HD, cardiac output was 8.08±1.501/min and cardiac index was 5.00±0.87 l/ (min m2) . Left ventricular function improved (LVEF changed 60.4±6.85% to 64.2±8.7%, LVEF/LVET changed 0.237±0.048%/ms to 0.254±0.021%/ms) between before and after HD, but there was not significant difference. Right ventricular function improved (RVEF changed 41.2±8.00% to 50.0±11.96, RVEF/RVET changed 0.167±0.028%/ms to 0.209±0.059%/ms) between before and after HD, and there was significant difference (p
