GONZALES GALLEGOS, Juan Max  and  ORIHUELA LOZA, Ivonne. PREDIALISE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DETERIORATION OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION IN DIALYDATED PATIENTS. Rev. Méd. La Paz [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp.13-18. ISSN 1726-8958.

The purpose of this study is to identify predialitic factors associated to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in hemodialyzed patients. Methodology A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in 180 hemodialyzed patients and 120 patient samples at Hospital Obrero N° 1 of La Paz city Bolivia, from January to August 2017. 72 (58.5%) patients were male, 51 (41.5%) female, 101 (82.1%) from urban origin and 22 (17.9%) from rural, the average age was 60 years and standard deviation 14.8 years. Results According to factors associated with chronic kidney disease(CKD) 1.6% of patients presented obesity, 48 patients (39%) were Type 2 diabetes, 83 (67.5%)with previous and current diagnosis of Systemic Arterial Hypertension,26 (21.1%) patients with other causes of ESRD, and 78 (63.4%) patients older than 60 years. Conclusion Predialitic factors associated to the deterioration of glomerular filtration rate in dialyzed patients are frequently due to Systemic Arterial Hypertension followed by Diabetes Mellitus type 2, patients older than 60 years and other causes of CKD. The comorbidity of type 2 diabetic patients who present systemic arterial hypertension is statistically significant and doubles the risk for ESRD; moreover, both type 2 diabetes and having more than 60 years display a statistically significant association that triples the risk for ESRD.
