Background: Chronic kidney disease is considered a public health problem and is closely related to non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: To determine cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing renal replacement therapy in a second-level care hospital. Methods: A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study. Patients with chronic kidney disease on renal replacement therapy, aged 30 to 75 years, both sexes, from April to July 2023, who agreed to participate, participated in the study. The Framingham risk tables were used to determine cardiovascular risk. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to determine the relationship between variables, with p < 0.05. Committee registration number: R-2023-1603-010. Results: Eighty patients were included, 58.8% were men, 41.2% were women, 28.7% were pensioners, 60% were married. Sixty percent presented DT2 and 45% were overweight or obese. High cardiovascular risk was present in 42.5% of the patients. Conclusions: The population with chronic kidney disease undergoing renal replacement therapy has a high overall cardiovascular risk, related to active smoking, diabetes and overweight.
Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica es considerada como un problema de salud pública y se encuentra íntimamente relacionada con factores de riesgo cardiovascular no modificables. Objetivo: Determinar el riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en tratamiento de sustitución renal en un Hospital de segundo nivel de atención. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal. Participaron pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en tratamiento sustitutivo, de 30 a 75 años, ambos sexos, de abril a julio 2023, que aceptaron participar. Para conocer el riesgo cardiovascular, se utilizaron las Tablas de riesgo de Framingham. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial para determinar la relación entre variables, con p < 0.05. Número de registro del Comité: R-2023- 1603-010. Resultados: Se incluyeron 80 pacientes, 58.8% fueron hombres, 41.2% mujeres, 28.7% pensionados, 60% casados. El 60% presentó DM2 y 45% sobrepeso u obesidad. El riesgo cardiovascular alto se presentó en 42.5% de los pacientes. Conclusiones: La población con enfermedad renal crónica en tratamiento sustitutivo, presenta un riesgo cardiovascular global alto, relacionado con tabaquismo activo, diabetes y sobrepeso.
