High Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease in End-Stage Kidney Disease Patients Ongoing Hemodialysis in Peru: Why Should We Care About It?

摘要: Purpose. To determine clinical, biochemical, and pharmacological characteristics as well cardiovascular disease prevalence its associated factors among end-stage kidney patients receiving hemodialysis in the main center Lima, Peru. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 103 patients. Clinical charts were reviewed an echocardiogram was performed to of disease, defined presence systolic/diastolic dysfunction, coronary heart ventricular dysrhythmias, cerebrovascular and/or peripheral vascular disease. Associations between dialysis sought using ratio. A robust Poisson regression model used quantify possible associations. Results. Cardiovascular 81.6%, mainly due diastolic dysfunction. It significantly with age older than 50 years, metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein levels, effective blood flow ≤ 300 mL/min, severe anemia, absence mild anemia. However, analysis only anemia associated. Conclusions. is high Lima. Diastolic age, specific hemoglobin may play important role.
