Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is considered a priority in health research according to the MSP. Diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension are degenerative in renal disease. Hemodialysis is the process that is performed for the purification of the blood of that person in which their kidneys are not in a position to do it correctly. We have decided to investigate this issue due to the high prevalence of patients undergoing hemodialysis in several hospitals in Guayaquil, Objective: To establish the prevalence of anemia and other complications in hemodialysis patients. Methodology: It was an observational, descriptive study. 198 patients met the inclusion criteria of having a diagnosis of eGFR less than 15 ml / min / 1.73m2 plus ICD 10 coding (n18 or n18.9). The respective selection of variables was made, and the following variables were defined: age, sex, weight, associated pathologies, complications, mortality, hemodialysis sessions Results: The average age was 61 years, minimum age of 21 and maximum of 93. Which gave us a normal curve of the sample. Of the 199 patients in our sample 125 were male and 74 female Atherosclerosis occurred most frequently in the range of 61 to 93 years with 37 (18.59%) without another comorbidity. The relationship between mortality and anemia obtained an asymptotic value of 0.42. Conclusions: There was no difference in the rate of complications that appear between men and women. It was concluded that between anemia and sepsis there is a positive correlation.
