Introduction:
Chronic kidney disease has presented frequencies that exceed the installed capacity of dialysis services, and data on prevalence are uncertain worldwide.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients assisted in renal replacement therapy and details on the assistance provided.
Methods:
Population-based cross-sectional study with information obtained from the Unified Health System database. The research location was the state of Paraíba, and the observation period was from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2013, n = 64,676 documents, and the variables observed were: gender; age group, race, or color; place of residence; place where the therapy was performed; vascular access; modality if hemodialysisor peritoneal dialysis; registration on the kidney transplantation list; infection by hepatitis B, C, and HIV viruses; and costs.
Results:
A higher prevalence of request for highly complex procedure was observed in males (56.8%) and white (39%). The cities with the highest prevalence of dialysis patients were João Pessoa, Campina Grande, Santa Rita, Sousa, Bayeux, and Patos. Most of the sample referred to patients undergoing hemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy modality, with 42.2% not having definitive arteriovenous fistula access. The renal replacement therapy expenses observed were increasing, and in 2009, they accounted for 2.89% of health spending, reaching 3.32% of state health spending in 2013.
Conclusion:
Using secondary data from DATASUS to understand the population with chronic kidney disease and the assistance offered is possible.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Anatomical Position and Dimensions
The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs positioned against the posterior abdominal wall on either side of the spine, roughly between the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae. Each kidney is typically 10-12 cm long, 5-6 cm wide, and 3-4 cm thick, weighing about 150 grams.

The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous...
01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
