- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the prevalence of sepsis and mortality of patients with acute renal injury in hemodialysis renal replacement therapy. Method: quantitative study, cross-sectional, with 44 patients. Data were collected with questionnaires and in medical records, analyzed through descriptive measures (mean, median, standard deviation and percentages) and presented in tables. Results: sociodemographic variables revealed that 63.6% are males, with a mean age of 63.3 years. Sepsis was the main cause of acute renal injury in 65.9% of patients and mortality was 79.5%. The length of ICU stay was 22.45 ± 13.5 days and the total hospitalization time was 31.30 ± 21.4 days. Intermittent hemodialysis was the most used in 61.4% of the cases. Conclusion: despite international campaigns, sepsis and its mortality remain high.
