Epidemiologia da doença renal crônica terminal no Estado da Paraíba: resgate de cinco anos de terapia renal substitutiva, 2009-2013

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), nosology of epidemic proportions and worldwide distribution, that end point needs to Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) for sustaining life, emerges as health problem at the cost and need for assistance to sustain life. OBJECTIVE: Know the epidemiological profile of prevalent CKD patients on RRT in the state of Paraiba, from 2009 to 2013, from administrative database information of High Complexity Reports Authorization System/Renal Replacement Therapy (APAC/TRS). METHODS: We used secondary data on the revenues of TRS to carry out a retrospectiv cross-sectional study with the conversion of an administrative database in study data. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of FAMENE. Descriptive analysis was performed for all study variables and used chi-square test to verify associations between variables, and adopted the 0.05 significance level. The software used was the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows, version 17. RESULTS: There was a higher prevalence of APACs referring to males (56.8%) and the race or white (39%). The cities with the highest prevalence of patients on RRT were João Pessoa, Campina Grande, Santa Rita, Sousa, Bayeux and Patos. Most of RRT made by hemodialysis, 32.6%, and 42.2% without permanent access by fistula. There was a low treatment rate output by a recorver of renal function (1.3%) or death (1.8%). Most of the patients were waitingo for renal alograft (49.8%). About 1.5% of the patients in TRS had diabetes mellitus, 3.2% had hypertension and about 1.3% had glomerulonephritis related to CKD in TRS. They had normal weight 59.7%; Sample: 70.2% possess residual diuresis less than 400 ml / day, 54.7% had Hb <1 g / dl. CONCLUSION: Use of secondary data enabled the construction of an epidemiological work that serves as a reference for relevant data to ESRD and TRS in the state of Paraiba
