Report of the Brazilian Chronic Dialysis Census 2012

Abstract

The prevalence and incidence rates of chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis increased, while the mortality rate tended to decrease compared with 2011. The indicators of the quality of maintenance dialysis remained stable with a trend towards decrease in levels of anemia. The data highlight the importance of the census to guide chronic dialysis therapy.

Fatores associados à qualidade de vida de pacientes renais crônicos em hemodiálise

“…This is characterized by gradual and irreversible decrease in kidney function, in which the kidneys are no longer able to perform their function. (1) The 2012 Brazilian Chronic Dialysis Census reports that the number of patients on hemodialysis showed a gradual growth over a period of years, increasing from 97,586 in 2012 (2) to a total of 112,004 patients in 2014. (3) Patients who reach advanced stages may have physical, psychological and social limitations that affect their lifestyle.…”

Nursing diagnoses in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis

“…It is diagnosed by decreased glomerular filtration associated with loss of regulatory, excretory and endocrine functions of the kidney. When the glomerular filtration rate reaches values below 15 mL/min/1.73m 2 , the patient needs dialysis therapy for survival.…”

“…(2) In the hemodialysis unit, the implementation of the nursing process is fundamental, as it allows nurses to develop a specific plan of care for the patient, the identification and monitoring of adverse effects of treatment, such as the complications from the disease, and the possibility of the development of educational programs for promotion, prevention and treatment. (3) Nursing diagnoses are clinical judgments about actual or potential individual, family or community responses to health problems / life processes.…”

Prevalência da doença periodontal em pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise

“…(Usvyat et al, 2013). No Brasil, segundo dados de 2012, a prevalência foi de 503 pacientes em diálise por milhão da população (pmp) (Sesso et al, 2014) e estima-se que mais de 100 mil a utilizem como substituto da função renal (censo da Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia-SBN, 2013), sendo a HD realizada em 91% dos casos e a diálise peritoneal em 9% (Sesso et al, 2014).…”

“…Na Australia, EUA e Europa, a taxa de mortalidade dos dialíticos é até 100 vezes superior aos considerados sistemicamente saudáveis, quando devidamente ajustado para a mesma faixa etária de idade (Roberts et al, 2011 (Sesso et al, 2014).…”
