ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The present study was designed to determine the degree of fulfillment of the therapeutic objectives recommended in the clinical guidelines in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a nephrology outpatient clinic and the treatment that the patients were receiving to control these objectives.METHODS:
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed in unselected patients with CKD (stages 1-5) who attended the nephrology outpatient clinic of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón for follow up between 1st January and 1st April 2006.RESULTS:
Data from 600 patients with a mean age of 62.8 years (56.5% male) were collected. The distribution of patients according to the stage (S) of CKD was as follows S1 11.5%, S2 18%, S3 36.7%, S4 27.5% and S5 6.3%. The target blood pressure (BP) < 130/80 mmHg was reached in 35.5%. The target diastolic blood pressure was controlled in 70%. However, systolic blood pressure increasing significantly with age and the degree of renal failure was controlled only in 42%. Total cholesterol wasCONCLUSIONS:
Anemia is the best controlled factor of all the factors related to renal function. The degree of control of blood pressure (BP) has improved in recent years. However, it is still poor, particularly the control of systolic blood pressure getting worse with renal failure and age. It is difficult to reach the target PTH, despite adequate levels of Ca and P. Cholesterol levels, unlike triglyceride levels, do not depend on renal function and require an increase in the use and/or doses of cholesterol-lowering drugs.
