The main objectives of this observational study are: 1. Provide reliable data on the prevalence of pericardial diseases, pericardial effusion, constrictive pericarditis and its predisposing factors among ESRD patients, undergoing long-term dialysis. 2. Detect the predisposing factors that could contribute to pericardial effusion amount and severity. Participants (or their designated contact persons) will be contacted over the phone for either a telephone interview or a follow-up visit in the outpatient clinics, whatever feasible and possible.
