- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients with chronic renal disease from the hemodialysis service of a health macro-region. Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study with patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Data were collected by means of a questionnaire and consultation of medical records, with a sample composed by 73 individuals. A database was prepared in the SPSS Program, version 17.0, and analyzes were carried out from descriptive statistics. The chi-square test was used to test the significance of the association between the variables of greater relevance for the study, adopting the level of 5% for significance. Results: male patients predominated (74.0%), mean income of two minimum wages and mean age of 49 years. The predominant baseline diagnosis was of indeterminate cause (35.6%) and 65.8% of the patients in the sample were hypertensive. Conclusion: the data identified for the occurrence of CKD can be prevented, mainly in primary health care. Therefore, the important and constant role of Primary Care in the promotion of health to individuals prone to CKD is highlighted, as early detection of renal failure and correct referral.
