Abstract

Objective: to characterize patients in dialysis, in a nephrology center in the western boundary region of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Methods: this is about a descriptive, transversal study, from quantitative approach, with 32 patients in hemodialysis, assisted in the referred nephrology unit, who had accepted to be part of the study.

After hemodialysis, intercurrences are weakness, nausea and hypotension. Conclusion: results can become a management tool, encouraging the guiding of actions aiming to qualify the assistance to chronic renal patients. Descriptors: renal insufficiency, chronic; renal dialysis; therapeutics.RESUMOObjetivo: caracterizar pacientes em tratamento dialítico, assistidos em um Centro de Nefrologia da região fronteira-oeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

Coping e qualidade de vida em pacientes em lista de espera para transplante renal

“…(25) Differing from the 2016 census 3 , the percentage of patients over 65 years of age was lower than the national mean of 30-35%.

“…Houve semelhança entre o número de idosos segundo o sexo masculino e feminino, o que diverge dos achados de outros estudos (8)(9)(10)(11) realizados com pacientes renais nos quais o sexo masculino foi predominante.…”

“…O mesmo ocorreu em outro estudo (9) em unidade de hemodiálise no estado de São Paulo, no qual se identificou 61% do sexo masculino.
