ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hemodialysis is the most common form of renal replacement therapy in the world, accounting for approximately 69% of all renal replacement therapy, and 89% of all dialysis. Material and Methods: An observational, retrospective study was carried out using descriptive statistics in a group of patients currently undergoing hemodialysis treatment in the hemodialysis service of the General Hospital of Playa Del Carmen. Two groups (male and female) with 9 patients each were formed. Measures of central tendency and dispersion (mean, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum) were used for quantitative variables, as well as frequency, and percentage analyses for qualitative variables. Results: Eighteen patients on current hemodialysis were analyzed. The most commonly used catheter was the Mahurkar type. The number of sessions was in men 4 cases 3 times a week, and 5 cases 2 times a week; n women there were 4 cases 1 day a week, 2 cases 2 days a week, and 3 cases 3 days a week. Discussion: Some aspects of that review included associations between surgical procedures for vascular access and amputation. In patients with, and without diabetes, both variables increased after the start of hemodialysis therapy. In our review, there were only 2 cases of knuckle amputation. Conclusions: Current trends are particularly worrying from a global perspective: current costs are not sustainable, even for high-income countries; most people who develop kidney failure forgo treatment, resulting in millions of deaths each year.
