Abstract

The present research work is a study of a group of deceased patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis in 2017 in two hemodialysis centers in the city of Guayaquil. The objective is to identify the factors associated with mortality in patients who died with chronic kidney disease in 2017. The research methodology is adjusted to a type of descriptive and retrospective study. Technique: Indirect observation in medical records. The results obtained in this study showed that the male sex prevalence (88%) associated with mortality is greater than the female sex (12%). The elderly, older than 65 years, did not show a greater number in the deceased patients. The pathologies that the patients presented at the entrance of the renal replacement treatment were diabetes mellitus (45%), cardiovascular diseases (41%), neoplastic and cerebrovascular diseases (6%) and respiratory diseases (2%). Of which patients with more than two pathologies were associated with a higher mortality rate (64%) than those with a pathology (36%). In the most relevant pathologies associated with mortality, it is concluded that cardiovascular and infectious diseases are associated with an increased risk of death in patients with ERC.
