Abstract

Introduction: Currently, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been described as a condition that constitutes a significant issue in public health, where it is estimated that at least 70% of patients with this condition will develop a concomitant case of anemia. This study focuses on determining the prevalence and factors associated with the development of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study, retrospective in nature, and observational and descriptive analysis were conducted, with information sourced from the Guasmo Sur General Hospital Database. The sample comprised 150 patients aged 45 to 65 years diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. Results: The mean age was 59 years, with a standard deviation of 3 years. Females accounted for 74% of the cases. Normocytic normochromic anemia was reported in 94% of the patients. Arterial hypotension and tachycardia were the most frequent manifestations, at 68.7% and 69.3%, respectively. Mortality occurred in 44% of patients. Conclusions: Female gender and age between 56 and 62 years are the main demographic factors. Chronic disease anemia is the most commonly occurring in patients with CKD, and arterial hypotension and tachycardia are the main manifestations. Mortality in these cases is high, with cardiopulmonary arrest being the main complication.
