[Circulatory failure in chronic glomerulo- and pyelonephritis]
Kardiologiia
|January 1, 1982
Summary
Circulatory insufficiency is common in chronic kidney diseases, particularly in older patients and those with chronic glomerulonephritis. Cardiac decompensation affects most patients with chronic renal insufficiency.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Cardiology
- Internal Medicine
Context:
- Analysis of 404 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and 145 with chronic pyelonephritis.
- Patients aged 15-74 years with varying stages of kidney disease.
- Focus on the prevalence and severity of circulatory insufficiency.
Purpose:
- To determine the frequency and degree of circulatory insufficiency in chronic kidney disease.
- To compare circulatory insufficiency in chronic glomerulonephritis versus pyelonephritis.
- To examine the relationship between renal function and cardiac complications.
Summary:
- Circulatory insufficiency occurs in 29.4% of patients with preserved renal function.
- Chronic glomerulonephritis and older age increase the risk of circulatory insufficiency.
- Cardiac decompensation impacts 78.1% of patients during chronic renal insufficiency, with similar rates for both kidney diseases.
Impact:
- Highlights the high incidence of cardiac issues in chronic kidney disease patients.
- Informs treatment strategies based on kidney function and disease type.
- Underscores the need for integrated nephrology and cardiology care.
