Eficacia de la hemodiálisis en pacientes que desarrollan insuficiencia renal aguda en la unidad de terapia intensiva del Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el periodo del 2017 al 2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute renal failure is a very common pathology in intensive care units and is generally considered a consequence of a critical illness. In urgent circumstances, hemodialysis is the most used technique in patients with acute renal failure. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was carried out in which a series of results were obtained by monitoring the medical records during a period of thirty-six months in female and male patients diagnosed with acute renal failure, to those who have undergone hemodialysis therapy and who are admitted to the intensive care unit at the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital during the period 2017 to 2019. Results: The hemodialysis performed in patients diagnosed with Acute Renal Insufficiency in the Intensive Care Unit was effective, and this is corroborated by analyzing the values obtained. Before hemodialysis, the mean urea was 176,787mg / dl, creatinine was 3,263mg / dl, and glomerular filtration rate was 22.98 mL / min / 1.73m2. After hemodialysis, the mean urea was 124,623mg / dl, creatinine was 1,894mg / dl and glomerular filtration was 54,292 mL / min / 1.73m2. Conclusions: It was evidenced that the initial values of both urea, creatinine and glomerular filtration improved at the time of hemodialysis as a supportive treatment for the disease in the Intensive Care Unit of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo hospital.
