ABSTRACT
Objective:
Dialysis efficacy is one of the important issues in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aimed to determine the adequacy of dialysis with mortality and hospital admissions in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods:
This retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent dialysis. Dialysis adequacy was measured based on the Kt/V criterion. Age, sex, disease etiology, duration of dialysis, and access dialysis were evaluated.Results:
128 patients with a mean age of 61.48 ± 13.36 years were included in the study. 8 patients had a history of kidney transplantation. The mean dialysis time in the patients was 4.30 ± 3.39 years. The mean Kt/V in the patients was 1.40 ± 1.8 years. Of the 128 patients, 53 were hospitalized for cardiac or renal reasons. The number of fatalities was 9 cases out of 128. The cause of death in all the cases was heart problems. There was a statistically significant correlation between the adequacy of dialysis in terms of Kt/V and mortality, but it was not associated with hospitalization.Conclusion:
Inadequate dialysis in terms of Kt/V is likely to increase the rate of mortality among dialysis patients.
