Gravidez e nefrotoxidade causada pela ciclosporina A: um estudo experimental

Mendes, Glória Elisa Florido 28 November 2005 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-01-26T12:51:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 gloriaelisa_tese.pdf: 873601 bytes, checksum: 4169d3e3662f4f5b0cb50f642bec7715 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-11-28 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a immunosuppressant drug, whose most serious toxic effect is chronic nephrotoxicity, characterized by decreased glomerular filtration rate and the development of irreversible renal fibrosis. It may go through the placenta to the developing fetus. Currently, a great number of women with childbearing potential is treated by CsA, increasing the chances of pregnancy under the effect of this drug. Our objectives were to assess CsA effects on the renal structure and function during pregnancy. The low-salt-diet (0.06%) model was used in pregnant (P/CsA) and virgin (V/CsA) Munich-Wistar female rats receiving CsA; in virgin (V/VH) and pregnant (P/VH) rats with vehicle at a dosage of 15 mg/kg/day of CsA subcutaneously or vehicle. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR, ml/min/100g) , renal blood flow (RBF, Doppler ultrasound, ml/min), renal vascular resistance (RVR, mmHg/ml/min), blood pressure (BP, intracarotid probe, mmHg), blood levels of CsA (BCsA, radioimmunoassay, ng/ml), urinary volume (UV, ml/min), plasma and urinary creatinine (mg/dl), urine sodium excretion (UNa, mEq/l), sodium excretion fraction (FeNa,%) urinary osmolality (UOsm, m/Osm/K), osmolar clearance (COsm, ml/min), urinary nitric-oxide (NO, griess, umol/mgCr), immunohistochemistry for angiotensin II-positive renal cells and renal histology were measured in the middle and at the end of the gestational period (21 days). Results are presented as mean ± standard error of mean and analyzed by ANOVA and Student-Neuman-Keuls test. After 10 days of treatment, the pregnancy caused significant increases of 27% in the GFR (GC; 1.19 ± 0.04 vs 0.94 ± 0.05 in V/C, p<0.05) and of 36% in RBF (G/C; 4.9 ± 0.2 vs 3.6 ± 0.1 in V/C, p< 0.001) and significant decreases of 13% in MBP (GC; 112 ± 4 vs 129 ± 5 in V/C, p<0.05) and of 29% in RVR ( GC; 24 ± 1 vs 34 ± 2 in VC, p<0.05) of vehicle treated animals. In contrast, in CsA-treated animals, there was no significant GFR increase in pregnancy (20%, G/CsA; 0.95 ± 0.07 vs 0.79 ± 0.07 in V/CsA, p>0.05) nor was there a significant MPB decrease (7%, G/CsA; 110 ± 3 vs 118 ± 4 in V/CsA, p>0.05). The significant RBF increase (38%, G/CsA; 3.3 ± 0.2 vs 2.4 ± 0.1 in V/CsA p<0,01) and significant RVR decrease ( 24%, G/CsA 38 ± 3 vs 50 ± 3 in V/CsA, p<0.05) were maintained in this group. Pregnancy caused a significant decrease of CsA serum levels (G/CsA; 544±58 vs 805±71 in V/CsA, p<0.01). CsA treated animals showed a trend to higher urinary nitric oxide levels, however, the difference was not statistically significant. There was no difference in urinary nitric oxide between virgin and pregnant rats. Pregnancy increased the number of angiotensin II-positive cells in the renal interstitium (3.9 ± 0.6 in G/CsA vs 2.5 ± 0.4 in V/CsA and 4 ± 1.4 in G/C vs 1.9 ± 0.86 in V/C), however these differences did not reach statistical significance. The number of angiotensin II-positive cells in the afferent arteriole was greater in pregnant rats when compared to virgin rats (G/C; 1.3 ± 0.3 vs 0.21 ± 0.2 in V/C) and greater in CsA-treated virgin rats when compared to vehicle-treated rats (V/CsA; 1 ± 0.3 vs 0.21 ± 0.2 in V/C), however these differences were not statistically significant. After 20 days, V and P rats had similar (NS) GFR and RBF decreases and CsA vs Control for GFR (p<0.001), for RBF (p<0.01), and a similar RVR increase (NS). MBP values showed similar decreases in V vs P rats (NS) and a decrease in Csa vs C animals (p<0.05). SCsA was lower in P vs V rats (p<0.001). AII expression in the interstice increased for V/CsA vs V/C rats (p<0.001) and for G/CsA vs P/C rats (p<0.05). The same was observed in the afferent arteriole, for V/CsA vs v/C (p<0.01); however it was not statistically significant for pregnant rats. Only the V/CsA group had an IF score of 0.2 ± 0.1 after 20 days. In the middle of normal pregnancy, CsA altered the renal hemodynamics, impairing both the increase of GFR and the decrease of BP, although the blood levels of the drug were lower in pregnant rats than in virgin rats. The NO urinary system does not seem to be connected to this phenomenon. AII expression in the interstice and in the afferent arteriole was greater for CsA treated-pregnant animals vs controls. Pregnancy did not impair CsA-induced interstitial fibrosis. / A ciclosporina A (CsA) é uma droga imunossupressora cujo efeito tóxico mais grave é a nefrotoxicidade, caracterizada pela queda da filtração glomerular e pelo desenvolvimento de fibrose intersticial renal irreversível. A CsA pode passar através da placenta para o feto em desenvolvimento. Atualmente, um grande número de mulheres em idade fértil são tratadas com CsA, aumentando a chance de gestação sob efeito desta droga. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar os efeitos da CsA sobre a função e estrutura renal durante a gravidez. Utilizou-se o modelo da manobra de restrição de sal na dieta (0,06%) em ratas Munich-Wistar, virgens que receberam CsA (V/CsA), grávidas com CsA (G/CsA), virgens com veículo (V/C) e grávidas com veículo (GIC), na dose de 15 mg/Kg/dia de CsA subcutâneo ou veículo. Avaliou-se na metade e no final do período gestacional a filtração glomerular (FGR, depuração de inulina, ml/min/100g), o fluxo sanguíneo renal (FSR, ultra-som Doppler, ml/min), a resistência vascular renal (RVR, mmHg/ml/min), a pressão arterial média (PAM, cateter intracarotídeo, mmHg), os níveis sanguíneos de CsA (SCsA, radioimunoensaio, ng/ml), o volume urinário (VU, l/min), a creatinina plasmática e urinária (mg/dl), a excreção urinária de sódio (UNa, mEqIl), a fração de excreção de sódio (FeNa,%), a osmolalidade urinária (Uosm, m/Osm/K), a depuração osmolar (Cosm, ml/min), o óxido nítrico urinário (NO, griess, pmol/mgCr), a imunohistoquímica para células renais positivas para angiotensina II (células/campo) e a histologia renal. Os resultados são apresentados como média erro padrão e comparados por ANOVA e StudentNeuman-Keuls. Após 10 dias de tratamento a gravidez provocou aumentos significantes de 27% na FGR (GC; 1,19 0,04 vs 0,94 0,05 em V/C, p<0,05) e de 36% no FSR (G/C 49 + 0,2 vs 36 + 0,1 em V/C, p< 0,001) e quedas significantes de 13% na PAM (GC; 112 4 vs 129 5 em V/C, p<0,05) e de 29% na RVR (GC; 24 1 vs 34 2 em VC, p<0,05) Nota de Resumo dos animais tratados com veículo. Em contraste, nos animais tratados com CsA, na gravidez não houve aumento significante da FOR (20%, G/CsA; 0,95 + 0,07 vs 0,79 + 0,07 em V/CsA, p>0,05) ou queda significante da PAM (7%, G/CsA; 110 3 vs 118 4 em V/CsA, p>0,05). Neste grupo manteve-se a elevação significante do FSR (38%, G/CsA; 3,3 0,2 vs 2 4 0,1 em V/CsA p<0,01) e a diminuição significante da RVR (24%, C/CsA 38 3 vs 50 3 em V/CsA, p<0,05). A gravidez provocou diminuição significante dos níveis séricos de CsA (G/CsA; 544 58 vs 805 71 em V/CsA, p<0,0 1). Os animais tratados com CsA apresentaram tendência a níveis mais elevados de óxido nítrico urinário, porém a diferença não foi estatisticamente significante. Não houve diferença de óxido nítrico urinário entre ratas virgens e grávidas. A gravidez causou aumento do número de células positivas para angiotensina II no interstício renal (3,90,6 em G/CsA vs 2,5 0,4 em V/CsA e 4 1,4 em C/C vs 1,9 0,86 em V/C), porém estas diferenças não alcançaram signíficância estatística. O número de células positivas para angiotensina li na arteríola aferente foi maior nas ratas grávidas quando comparadas às virgens (G/C; 1,3 0,3 vs O 21 + O 2 em V/C) e maior nas ratas virgens tratadas com CsA quando comparadas às tratadas com veículo (V/CsA 1 + 0,3 vs 021 + 02 em V/C), porém, estas diferenças não foram estatisticamente significantes. Após 20 dias, V e O apresentaram queda similares (NS) na FGR e FSR, sendo CsA vs Controle para FGR (p<0.001), para FSR (p<0.01), e aumentando similar na RVR (NS). Os valores da PAM apresentaram quedas similares, em V vs G (NS) e diminuição nos animais com CsA vs C (p<0,05). A SCsA foi menor em G vs V (p<0,01). A expressão de AII no interstício aumentou, para V/CsA vs V/C (p<0,001) e para G/CsA vs G/C (p<0,05). O mesmo aconteceu na arteríola aferente, para V/CsA vs V/C (p<0,01); todavia não foi estatisticamente significante para as ratas prenhes. Nota de Resumo Apenas o grupo V/CsA após 20 dias apresentou escore de 0,2 + 0,1 de IRF. A CsA alterou desfavoravelmente a hemodinâmica renal na metade da gravidez normal, prejudicando o aumento da FGR e prejudicando queda da PA na prenhez normal, apesar de as ratas prenhes apresentarem níveis sangüíneos da droga menores em relação às virgens. O NO não parece estar envolvido nesse fenômeno. A expressão da AII no interstício e na arteríola aferente foi maior para os animais com CsA e prenhes vs controles. A gravidez não prejudicou a fibrose intersticial causada pela CsA.

Necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado visando a qualidade de vida de clientes em terapia de hemodiálise / The needs of nursing guidance for the self-care aimed the clients quality of life on hemodialysis therapy

Renata de Paula Faria Rocha 10 February 2010 (has links)
Pressupondo que o conhecimento sobre a doença renal crônica (DRC) e seu tratamento, possibilita ao cliente entendimento e aceitação para conviver com esse agravo, favorecendo comportamentos de autocuidado, delimitou-se os problemas: Qual é a qualidade de vida de clientes com DRC submetidos à hemodiálise? Quais são as necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado desses clientes visando à promoção de sua qualidade de vida? Objetivos específicos: Identificar as características sóciodemográficas e nosológicas de clientes com DRC, em hemodiálise, associando às suas necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado; Identificar a qualidade de vida desses clientes, aplicando o questionário de Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF); Relacionar as necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado com a qualidade de vida dos clientes com DRC em terapia de hemodiálise. Descreve-se como marco referencial a Teoria do Autocuidado de Orem, concepções de autocuidado e de qualidade de vida. Pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa, através da entrevista individual realizada na Unidade de Diálise da Enfermaria de Nefrologia do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período de agosto de 2008 a maio de 2009. Foram sujeitos de pesquisa 43 clientes. Foram utilizados: formulário para caracterização da clientela e levantamento das necessidades de autocuidado e o questionário KDQOL-SF para mensurar a qualidade de vida dos sujeitos. Resultados: Os clientes com doença renal crônica em terapia de hemodiálise são, em sua maioria, do sexo masculino (55%) e mantém união estável (81%); situando-se 39,53%, na faixa etária de 45 a 65 anos e 79,07% na categoria de aposentados. 37,54% têm ensino fundamental. Quanto às características nosológicas, 74,42% possuem hipertensão arterial, encontrando-se 83,72% em hemodiálise, há menos de um ano. A qualidade de vida desses clientes, avaliada pelo KDQOL-SF, obteve os menores escores nas dimensões: limitações causadas por problemas da saúde física; condição de trabalho; limitações causadas por problemas da saúde emocional; capacidade funcional e sobrecarga imposta pela doença renal. Relacionando esse resultado com o obtido no questionário para avaliação das necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado tem-se: problemas da saúde física relacionado com terapia nutricional, ingestão de líquidos, complicações da hemodiálise, anticoagulação e prática de atividade física; relacionadas a problemas de saúde emocional tem-se a associação a grupos e a atividades de lazer; e relacionada à capacidade funcional e sobrecarga da doença renal tem-se a prática de atividade física. Conclui-se que a enfermagem, além de administrar a realização das sessões de hemodiálise, tem papel fundamental na educação à saúde dos clientes, familiares e/ou acompanhantes. O apoio do enfermeiro ao cliente no processo de enfrentamento e tratamento da DRC, contribui para que este adquira habilidade nas ações de autocuidado e consequentemente favoreça sua qualidade de vida. / Assuming that knowledge about Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment, allows the patient to understand and accept it to live with this injury, promoting self-care behaviors, the problems were delimited: What is the quality of life of patients with CKD undergoing an hemodialytic treatment? What are the needs of nursing guidance for self- care of clients in order to promote their quality of life? Specific Objectives: To identify sociodemographic and nosological characteristics of patients with CKD on hemodialysis treatment, linking to their needs of nursing guidance for self-care; Identify the quality of life of patients, using the questionnaire of Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (SF-KDQOL); Relate the needs of nursing guidance for the self-care with the quality of life of CKD clients on hemodialysis therapy. It is described as referencial point the Self-care Theory of Orem, self-care conceptions and quality of life. Descriptive search, quantitative, through the individual interview held on the Unit of Dialysis of the Infirmary of Nephrology of the Academical Hospital Pedro Ernesto of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the period of August of 2008 to May of 2009. The subjects of this study were 43 patients. They were used: form for characterization of the patients and rising of the self-care needs and the questionnaire KDQOL-SF to measure the quality of life of the subjects. Results: Clients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy are mostly male (55%) and remains stable union (81%), standing at 39.53%, aged 45 to 65 years and 79.07% in the retired category, 37.54% have primary education. As for the nosological characteristics, 74.42% have arterial hypertension, being 83.72% on hemodialysis treatment for less than a year. The quality of life of these patients, as measured by SF-KDQOL, earned the lowest scores in the dimensions: limitations due to physical ill-health, work conditions, limitations caused by emotional health problems, functional capacity and burden imposed by kidney disease. Relating this result with that obtained in the questionnaire for needs assessment guidance for nursing self-care we have: physical health problems related to nutritional therapy, fluid intake, hemodialysis complications, anticoagulation and physical activity; related to emotional health problems has been the group membership and leisure activities, and related to functional capacity and burden of kidney disease has been the practice of physical activity. It is observed that in addition to managing the performance of the hemodialysis sessions, the nursing has a fundamental paper in the education to the patients health, family and / or companions. The nurses support to the patient in the process of facing and treatment of CKD, contributes to acquire this ability in self-care actions and thereby promote their quality of life.

No. of bitstreams: 2 Dissertação - Jéssica Guimarães Rodrigues - 2018.pdf: 4231969 bytes, checksum: 7cd99fc018c0461eb571ee4a66eb3bbc (MD5) license_rdf: 0 bytes, checksum: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-16 / Hemodialysis is the most common category of kidney replacement therapy set for chronical kidney disease. In order to perform this treatment it’s needed a vascular access (VA) that offers an adequate flow rate, a long use-life and a low rate of complications. The Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) is the closest access to meet these requirements. It can, however, present complications and, during the cannulation that usually happens three times per week, adverse events (AE) can occur to the patient. The arteriovenous fistula cannulation must happen with safety in order to prevent future patency problems. There are three methods of cannulation: area, rope ladder and buttonhole. In the area method, the insertion points of the needles are in the same area; in the rope ladder method there’s the varying of the place of the puncture, at a distance defined by the previous puncture, all along the VA; and in the buttonhole method, the needle’s insertion happen in the same place, angle and deepness, forming a subcutaneous tunnel that will be cannulated with the blunt needle. Each one of these methods has its own particularity and can influence in the need to repair the fistula. This is a prospective cohort study, during the course of six months, from April to September of 2017, conducted with the participation of 347 patients using the vascular access by autologous arteriovenous fistula, within three hemodialysis clinics in the city of Goiânia - GO. The data collection happened by weekly interview to the patients, using a structured instrument online. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee and the participation conditioned to signing of the consent form by the patient. The general objective was to analyze the factors that can influence in the necessity to repair the arteriovenous fistula of patients in hemodialytic treatment cannulated by different cannulation methods. The specific objective was to relate the adverse events and complications in the different arteriovenous fistula cannulation methods. We’ve found that in the buttonhole method, the most frequent AE was dermatitis and misscannulation, and in the area/rope-ladder methods, the most frequent AE were haematoma and peri-punction bleeding. The patients in the buttonhole method group received the hemodialytic treatment with a higher blood flow compared the other group. We’ve observed that the dual lumen catheter (DLC) is a predictor to the need of AVF repairments, due to enhancing in 28% the risk of need for AFV repair. The “arterial” retrograde cannulation has presented itself as a protection factor, diminishing the need to AVF repairments in 1%. In conclusion, the buttonhole method is recommended, since there is an intermittent surveillance of the arteriovenous fistula by the nurse in the touching exam. The area method is not recommended, and the rope ladder method should be individually evaluated in future studies. The nurse must act by monitoring the AFV, surveillance of the patency parameters and health education to the patients for the AVF self-care, as well as continued education to the nursing team in order to promote safe and scientifically based practices. / A hemodiálise é a modalidade de terapia renal substitutiva mais comumente instituída para a doença renal crônica. Para esse tratamento é necessário um acesso vascular que ofereça fluxo sanguíneo adequado à necessidade dialítica, meia vida longa e baixo índice de complicações. A fístula arteriovenosa é o acesso que mais se aproxima desses requisitos. Porém, não obstante, pode apresentar complicações, e durante as punções, que comumente se repetem três vezes por semana, pode haver eventos adversos (EA) ao paciente. A punção da fístula arteriovenosa deve ser realizada com segurança a fim de prevenir futuros problemas de perviedade. Há três métodos de punção: regional, escada de corda, e buttonhole. No método regional, os pontos de inserção das agulhas são na mesma região; no método escada de corda, há rotação do sítio de punção, a uma distância definida a partir da anterior ao longo de todo o AV; e no buttonhole, a inserção da agulha é no mesmo local, ângulo e profundidade, formando de um túnel subcutâneo que será puncionado com agulha romba. Cada um desses métodos tem sua particularidade e podem influenciar na necessidade para reparos na fístula. Este é um estudo longitudinal de coorte prospectiva, no período de seis meses, abril a setembro de 2017, realizado com 347 pacientes em hemodiálise usando acesso vascular por fístula arteriovenosa autóloga, em três clínicas satélites do município de Goiânia - GO. A coleta de dados foi por entrevista semanal aos pacientes, por meio de instrumento estruturado online. A pesquisa foi aprovada por comitê de ética, e a participação condicionada à assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido do paciente. O objetivo geral foi analisar fatores que influenciam na necessidade de reparo à fístula arteriovenosa de pacientes em hemodiálise puncionados por distintos métodos de punção. E os objetivos específicos foram identificar e relacionar os eventos adversos e complicações em distintos métodos de punção da fístula arteriovenosa, e caracterizar os preditores de complicações da fístula arteriovenosa. Encontramos como resultados que no método de punção de fístula arteriovenosa buttonhole o EA mais frequente foi dermatite e reinserção de agulhas de punção, e nos métodos escada/regional foram hematoma e sangramento peripunção. Os pacientes no grupo puncionado pelo método buttonhole receberam hemodiálise sob fluxos de sangue mais altos comparado ao outro grupo. Observamos que o uso do cateter venoso central de duplo lúmen (CDL) caracteriza-se um preditor de necessidade de reparo da fístula arteriovenosa, pois aumenta em 28% o risco dessa necessidade. A punção “arterial” retrógrada apresentou-se como fator de proteção, diminuindo em 1% a necessidade de reparos. Concluímos que o método de punção buttonhole é recomendado desde que haja a monitoração intermitente da fístula arteriovenosa pelo enfermeiro durante exame físico. O método regional é desestimulado. E o método escada de corda deve ser avaliado individualmente em estudos futuros. O enfermeiro deve estabelecer a vigilância dos parâmetros de perviedade, educação em saúde para autocuidado da fístula arteriovenosa, bem como educação continuada para a equipe de enfermagem a fim de promover práticas seguras e cientificamente embasadas.

Factors Associated with Hospital Readmissions Among United States Dialysis Facilities

Paulus, Amber B 01 January 2019 (has links)
Hospital readmissions are a major burden for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). On average, one in three hospital discharges among patients with ESRD are followed by a readmission within 30 days. Currently, dialysis facilities are held accountable for readmissions via the ESRD Quality Incentive Program standardized readmission ratio (SRR) clinical measure. However, little is known about facility-level factors associated with readmission. Additionally, unlike other standardized measures of quality in the dialysis setting, incident patients within their first 90-days of dialysis are included in the performance calculation. This study analyzed CMS Dialysis Facility Report data from 2013 to 2016 to examine dialysis facility and incident patient factors associated with SRR using multivariate mixed models. Among 5,419 dialysis facilities treating 104,768 incident patients, the mean SRR remained stable across all four study years at 0.99. Factors significantly associated with a lower SRR (p<0.0001) included Western geographic region and higher patient care technician ratios. Several incident patient pre-dialysis nephrology care characteristics were associated with lower SRRs including higher percentages of patients with a fistula present at first dialysis treatment, higher percentages of patients receiving 6-12 months or greater than 12 months of nephrology care prior to dialysis and higher facility average hemoglobin. Factors significantly associated with a higher SRR (p<0.0001) included Northeastern geographic region, higher registered nurse ratios, higher percentage of incident patients, and higher facility average GFR. Understanding facility-level and patient-level factors associated with higher SRRs may inform interventions to reduce 30-day hospital readmission among patients receiving dialysis.

Individuele- en huweliksaanpassing van die nierpasiënt

Bredekamp, Rosa 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Psigonefrologie behels die studie von psigologiese faktore wat 'n rot speel by eindstadiumnierversaking. Nierversaking word beskou as 'n lewensbedreigende siekte, wat die lewensverwogting von die pasient verkort indien hy nie behandeling ontvang nie. Nierversaking kan ingedeet word in drie stadiums: Die pre-dialise, diatise, en oorplantingstadiums. Die onderskeibaorheid von hierdie stadiums is die gevotg von verski lie in mediese behandelingsmetodes. Nie een hiervon bring genesing nie, maar vertig simptome van die uremiese sindroom, verleng die tewensverwagting von die pasient, en is veronderstel om sy lewenskwaliteit te verbeter. DepresS,ie en angs, is algemene simptome wat by nierpasiente voorkom. Die redes hiervoor, is die pasient se psigologiese reaksie teenoor nierversaking, dialise, en/of 'n oorplanting. Verder moet hy ook die newe-effekte van die mediese behandeling trotseer. Aanpassings moet ook gemaak word in terme von beroep~ en sosiate funksionering. Nie net het eindstodiumnierversaking 'n psigososiate impok op die nierposient nie, maar word die gesonde moat ook daardeur be"invtoed. Daarom ervoar meeste egpore gesamentlik die impok von nierversaking op hulle huwelik- en gesinslewe. Vir optimale oanpassing by nierversaking moet egpore sekere oanpassingstoke bemeester, soos om nierversoking as 'n gedeetde probteem te hanteer, oan te pas by die rot von pasient en versorger. die verskillende behoeftes oan nobyheid en afstand tussen pasient en versorger, en die verwisseting in beroepsrolle hanteer, asook effektiewe kommunikasie met mekoar en die mediese span doarstel, en mekaor deurlopend instrumenteel en emosioneel ondersteun ten einde die huweliksverbintenis in stand te hou. Die resultate von hierdie ondersoek dui doarop dat huweliksverondertikes, soos 'n afnome in ontsponningsaktiwiteite en seksuatiteit, en gelykmakende rolle 'n belangrike rot speel om oanpassing by nierversaking te vergemaklik. Daarmee soam is gevind dat godsdiens 'n belangrike oanpossende funksie vir egpore het. Deurgoans speel'n ondersteuningsisteem, wat uit famitie en vriende, onder nierpasiente, die mediese span en 'n sielkundige bestoan 'n vernome rol om die egpoar met oanpassing te help. Uiteindelik blyk dit moonttik te wees vir egpare om hulle huwetiksverhouding in stand te hou, of setfs konstruktief te herstruktureer, asook groter huwelikstevredenheid te ervoar, ondanks die bedreiging von eindstadiumnierversaking. Meeste egpore ervoar die moeilike tydperk dan ook met 'n verdieping in hulle huwelik- en geloofslewe. / Psychonephrology is the study of psychological factors which are evident in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is regarded as a life-threatening disease, which shortens the life-expectancy of a patient if he does not receive treatment. ESRD can be divided into three stages: the pre-dialysis, dialysis and transplant stages. These stages are signified by differences in medical treatment methods. None of these leads to a cure but all alle.viate symptoms of the uremic syndrome, increase the life-expectancy of the patient and are supposed to improve his quality of life. Depression and anxiety are general symptoms found in end-stage renal patients. The reasons for this are the patient's psychological reaction to renal disease, dialysis and/or transplant. Patients must also endure the side effects of medical treatment. Adjustment in vocational and social functioning is also evident. ESRD not only has a psycho social impact on the patient but also affects the healthy spouse. This is why most married couples together experience the impact of ESRD in their marital and family life. For optimal adjustment to ESRD couples need to master certain adaptational tasks, such as treating ESRD as a shared problem, adopt the roles of patient and caregiver, manage the various needs of closeness and distance between patient and caregiver and change of career roles, as well as effectively communicating with each other and the medical team, and instrumentally and emotionally support eac~ other in order to maintain the marital bonds. The results of this investigation show that marital variables, such as a decrease in recreation and sexuality and role equality, are important to ease the adjustment to ESRD. It was also found that religion has an important adaptational function for the married couples. A support system of family, friends, other renal patients, the medical team and a psychologist are also important to aid the couples' adjustment. Lastly it should be possible for renal couples to maintain, or even to positively reconstruct their marital relationship, and to experience marital satisfaction in the face of the threat of ESRD. Apparently most couples experience this ordeal as a time of intensification of their married and spiritual life. / Psychology / D.Litt. et Phil. (Psychology)

Necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado visando a qualidade de vida de clientes em terapia de hemodiálise / The needs of nursing guidance for the self-care aimed the clients quality of life on hemodialysis therapy

Renata de Paula Faria Rocha 10 February 2010 (has links)
Pressupondo que o conhecimento sobre a doença renal crônica (DRC) e seu tratamento, possibilita ao cliente entendimento e aceitação para conviver com esse agravo, favorecendo comportamentos de autocuidado, delimitou-se os problemas: Qual é a qualidade de vida de clientes com DRC submetidos à hemodiálise? Quais são as necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado desses clientes visando à promoção de sua qualidade de vida? Objetivos específicos: Identificar as características sóciodemográficas e nosológicas de clientes com DRC, em hemodiálise, associando às suas necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado; Identificar a qualidade de vida desses clientes, aplicando o questionário de Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF); Relacionar as necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado com a qualidade de vida dos clientes com DRC em terapia de hemodiálise. Descreve-se como marco referencial a Teoria do Autocuidado de Orem, concepções de autocuidado e de qualidade de vida. Pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa, através da entrevista individual realizada na Unidade de Diálise da Enfermaria de Nefrologia do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período de agosto de 2008 a maio de 2009. Foram sujeitos de pesquisa 43 clientes. Foram utilizados: formulário para caracterização da clientela e levantamento das necessidades de autocuidado e o questionário KDQOL-SF para mensurar a qualidade de vida dos sujeitos. Resultados: Os clientes com doença renal crônica em terapia de hemodiálise são, em sua maioria, do sexo masculino (55%) e mantém união estável (81%); situando-se 39,53%, na faixa etária de 45 a 65 anos e 79,07% na categoria de aposentados. 37,54% têm ensino fundamental. Quanto às características nosológicas, 74,42% possuem hipertensão arterial, encontrando-se 83,72% em hemodiálise, há menos de um ano. A qualidade de vida desses clientes, avaliada pelo KDQOL-SF, obteve os menores escores nas dimensões: limitações causadas por problemas da saúde física; condição de trabalho; limitações causadas por problemas da saúde emocional; capacidade funcional e sobrecarga imposta pela doença renal. Relacionando esse resultado com o obtido no questionário para avaliação das necessidades de orientação de enfermagem para o autocuidado tem-se: problemas da saúde física relacionado com terapia nutricional, ingestão de líquidos, complicações da hemodiálise, anticoagulação e prática de atividade física; relacionadas a problemas de saúde emocional tem-se a associação a grupos e a atividades de lazer; e relacionada à capacidade funcional e sobrecarga da doença renal tem-se a prática de atividade física. Conclui-se que a enfermagem, além de administrar a realização das sessões de hemodiálise, tem papel fundamental na educação à saúde dos clientes, familiares e/ou acompanhantes. O apoio do enfermeiro ao cliente no processo de enfrentamento e tratamento da DRC, contribui para que este adquira habilidade nas ações de autocuidado e consequentemente favoreça sua qualidade de vida. / Assuming that knowledge about Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment, allows the patient to understand and accept it to live with this injury, promoting self-care behaviors, the problems were delimited: What is the quality of life of patients with CKD undergoing an hemodialytic treatment? What are the needs of nursing guidance for self- care of clients in order to promote their quality of life? Specific Objectives: To identify sociodemographic and nosological characteristics of patients with CKD on hemodialysis treatment, linking to their needs of nursing guidance for self-care; Identify the quality of life of patients, using the questionnaire of Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (SF-KDQOL); Relate the needs of nursing guidance for the self-care with the quality of life of CKD clients on hemodialysis therapy. It is described as referencial point the Self-care Theory of Orem, self-care conceptions and quality of life. Descriptive search, quantitative, through the individual interview held on the Unit of Dialysis of the Infirmary of Nephrology of the Academical Hospital Pedro Ernesto of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the period of August of 2008 to May of 2009. The subjects of this study were 43 patients. They were used: form for characterization of the patients and rising of the self-care needs and the questionnaire KDQOL-SF to measure the quality of life of the subjects. Results: Clients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy are mostly male (55%) and remains stable union (81%), standing at 39.53%, aged 45 to 65 years and 79.07% in the retired category, 37.54% have primary education. As for the nosological characteristics, 74.42% have arterial hypertension, being 83.72% on hemodialysis treatment for less than a year. The quality of life of these patients, as measured by SF-KDQOL, earned the lowest scores in the dimensions: limitations due to physical ill-health, work conditions, limitations caused by emotional health problems, functional capacity and burden imposed by kidney disease. Relating this result with that obtained in the questionnaire for needs assessment guidance for nursing self-care we have: physical health problems related to nutritional therapy, fluid intake, hemodialysis complications, anticoagulation and physical activity; related to emotional health problems has been the group membership and leisure activities, and related to functional capacity and burden of kidney disease has been the practice of physical activity. It is observed that in addition to managing the performance of the hemodialysis sessions, the nursing has a fundamental paper in the education to the patients health, family and / or companions. The nurses support to the patient in the process of facing and treatment of CKD, contributes to acquire this ability in self-care actions and thereby promote their quality of life.

No. of bitstreams: 1 sylviamirandacarneiro.pdf: 4064276 bytes, checksum: 2f23ed3a0840ccdcf04c8474c053a91c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-07-13 / Introdução: O número de pessoas em tratamento dialítico no Brasil em 2014 foi de 112.004 pessoas, das quais 91,4% estavam inseridas na modalidade por hemodiálise. Objetivo: compreender a percepção de pessoas em hemodiálise sobre a hemodiálise, o tratamento hemodialítico e o cuidado de enfermagem, e analisar as práticas laborais na perspectiva dos registros de enfermagem. Métodos e técnicas: Estudo de método misto delineado nas Representações Sociais (RSs) e em estudo seccional, alicerçados nas Teorias das Representações Sociais e de Betty Neuman, realizado em uma clínica nefrológica em Minas Gerais. Participaram pessoas em hemodiálise (critério censitário) e registros de enfermagem (dois momentos: critérios censitário e amostra aleatória). Dados foram coletados de julho/2017 a abril/2018, usando instrumentos parapessoas em hemodiálise (caracterização sociodemográfica, estudo seccional, e abordagem estrutural e processual usando técnica de associação livre de palavras e entrevista individual com gravação de áudio, respectivamente para coletar dados com pessoas em hemodiálise) e registros de enfermagem (local, aspectos legais e conteúdos). Dados coletados com o programa Open Data Kit (ODK) e consolidados nos programas SPSS, EVOC e Nvivo®. Atendidas as recomendações éticas e legais de pesquisa com seres humanos. Resultados:Participaram 143 pessoas: 60,8% mulheres, 42,7% entre 65 e 80 anos, 48,3% casados, 59,4% com 0 a 5 anos de estudo, 75,5% aposentados, e 49% com Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica. A triangulação das abordagens estrutural, processual permitiram identificar que a hemodiálise foi retratada pelos participantes como uma situação “difícil” de ser vivenciada e a adaptação da rotina do tratamento emergiu como um “transtorno”. Entretanto o cognema “chance-esperança” surgiu como uma possibilidade de manutenção da vida e cura. A partir do termo indutor tratamento hemodialítico as pessoas em HD evocaram o “remédio-receita” e a “agulha-acesso-venoso” como objetos simbólicos consolidados pelo grupo. Em relação ao cuidado de enfermagem, os cognemas mencionados evidenciaram aspectos valorativos. A avaliação do cuidado que receberam foi positiva e as relações interpessoais significativas, sendo tais informações corroboradas por fragmentos de discursos dos participantes. Analisados871 registros (1ª etapa) e 184 (2ª etapa) realizados durante a hemodiálise na rotina abordando conteúdos assistenciais e procedimentos técnicos com ênfase nos domínios fisiológico, mental e funcional. Ausência de registro de diagnósticos e resultados de enfermagem e sem taxonomia padronizada. Identificados estressores intrapessoais, interpessoais e extrapessoais. Conclusão: O foco da documentação realizada pela enfermagem está centrada em procedimentos e aspectos fisiológicos do indivíduo, revelando traços do modelo biomédico e hospitalocêntrico. As abordagens estrutural e processual e o estudo seccional permitiram identificar respostas humanas nas quais há (im)explícitos estressores cuja analise à luz de Neuman possibilitou fazer um diagnóstico situacional e identificar a necessidade de redirecionar o foco dos registros e abordar terapeuticamente os estressores identificados favorecendo o enfrentamento da doença e o engajamento no tratamento. / Introduction: The number of people undergoing dialysis treatment in Brazil in 2014 was 112,004 people, of whom 91.4% were in the hemodialysis modality. Objective: To understand the perception of people on hemodialysis on hemodialysis, hemodialysis treatment and nursing care, and analyze work practices from the perspective of nursing records. Methods and techniques: Mixed method study outlined in the Social Representations and sectional study, based on the Theories of Social Representations and Betty Neuman, carried out in a nephrological clinic in Minas Gerais. Participated patients on hemodialysis (census criterion) and nursing records (two moments: census criteria and random sample). Data were collected from July/2017 to April/2018, using instruments for people on hemodialysis (sociodemographic characterization, sectional study, and structural and processual approach using free word association technique and individual interview with audio recording) and nursing records (local, legal aspects and contents). Data collected with the Open Data Kit (ODK) program and consolidated in the SPSS, EVOC and Nvivo® programs. In compliance with the ethical and legal recommendations of research with human beings. Results: Partcipated 143 people: 60.8% women, 42.7% between 65 and 80 years old, 48.3% married, 59.4% with 0-5 years of schooling, 75.5% retired, and 49% with arterial hypertension Systemic. The triangulation of the structural and processal approaches allowed to identify that the hemodialysis was portrayed by the participants as a "difficult" situation to be experienced and the adaptation of the treatment routine emerged as a "disorder". However the "chance-hope" cognema has emerged as a possibility of life-sustaining and cure. From the term inductor hemodialytic treatment HD people evoked the "remedy-recipe" and the "needle-venous access" as symbolic objects consolidated by the group. Regarding nursing care, the mentioned cognems showed evaluative aspects. The evaluation of the care they received was positive and the interpersonal relationships significant, being such information corroborated by fragments of the participants' speeches. We analyzed 871 records (1st stage) and 184 (2nd stage) performed during hemodialysis routinely addressing care content and technical procedures with emphasis on the physiological, mental and functional domains. Absence of registration of nursing diagnoses and results and without standardized taxonomy. Intrapersonal, interpersonal and extrapersonal stressors were identified. Conclusion: The focus of nursing documentation is centered on procedures and physiological aspects of the individual, revealing traces of the biomedical and hospital-centered model. Structural and processual approaches and the sectional study allowed the identification of human responses in which there are (im)explicit stressors whose analysis according to Neuman made it possible to make a situational diagnosis and identify the need to redirect the focus of the records and to approach the identified stressors therapeutically favoring the confrontation of the disease and treatment engagement.

INTRODUÇÃO Pacientes com doença renal crônica sofrem alterações musculoesqueléticas nos estágios iniciais da doença associadas a fatores como alteração de substratos séricos, capacidade funcional, qualidade de vida e parâmetros nutricionais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho funcional, qualidade de vida, e parâmetros respiratórios em pacientes com doença renal crônica não dialítica segundo o estágio da doença renal. MÉTODOS Foram selecionados 26 indivíduos acompanhados pelo Serviço de Nefrologia do Instituto Central da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, com diagnóstico de doença renal crônica não dialíticos, e taxa de filtração glomerular abaixo de 45 mL/min, foram excluídos pacientes com doenças reumatológicas, respiratórias, neurológicas ou que apresentassem limitações para a execução dos testes funcionais. Foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: questionário de Qualidade de Vida (SF-36), o questionário Internacional de Nível de Atividade Física (IPAQ), foi realizado os seguintes testes: teste de Caminhada de Seis Minutos, teste de Sentar e Levantar, e o teste de Preensão Palmar, foram aferidas também as pressões máximas inspiratórias e expiratórias e volumes pulmonares através da manuvacuometria e exames laboratoriais de rotina. RESULTADOS Os dados do grupo geral foram comparados com os encontrados na literatura demonstrando menor capacidade funcional e respiratória do que indivíduos saudáveis de mesmo gênero e faixa etária. Os indivíduos avaliados também foram subdivididos em dois grupos através da estimativa da taxa de filtração glomerular pela formula CKD-EPI, o primeiro grupo com taxa de filtração glomerular menor que 30 mL/min e o segundo grupo com taxa de filtração glomerular maior ou igual a 30 mL/min. Foram encontradas diferenças significantes quanto a: pressão expiratória máxima (P=0.04) onde os pacientes com pior função renal apresentaram maior força muscular expiratória, paratormônio (P= 0.02), fosforo (P= 0.04) e ureia (P= 0.00) . CONCLUSÃO: Concluiu se que indivíduos com doença renal crônica apresentam diferenças em relação aos parâmetros respiratórios, exames séricos diferentes estágios da doença renal crônica antes da terapia renal substitutiva / INTRODUCTION Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer musculoskeletal disorders in the early stages of the disease associated with factors such as change in serum substrates, functional capacity, quality of life and nutritional characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional performance, quality of life, and respiratory parameters in patients with CKD not requiring dialysis according to the stage of kidney disease. METHODS We selected 26 individuals accompanied by the Nephrology Department of the Central Institute of the Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, diagnosed with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis, and glomerular filtration rate below 45 mL / min, patients were excluded with rheumatic diseases, respiratory, neurological or who present limitations for the execution of functional tests. The following instruments were applied: Quality of Life questionnaire (SF-36), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), was performed the following tests: the Six Minutes Walk test, Sitting and Rising test, and Hand Grip Strength test were also measured the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure and lung volumes through manuvacuometria and routine laboratory tests. RESULTS The results presented by the general group were compared with those found in the literature showing lower functional and respiratory capacity than healthy individuals of the same gender and age. The evaluated individuals were also subdivided into two groups by means of the glomerular filtration rate by the formula CKD-EPI, the first group of glomerular filtration rate lower than 30 ml / min and the second group with higher glomerular filtration rate or equal to 30 ml / min. Significant differences were found regarding: maximal expiratory pressure (P 0.04) where patients with poor kidney function had higher expiratory muscle strength, parathyroid hormone (P = 0.02) and phosphorus (P 0.04). CONCLUSION: We conclude that individuals with chronic kidney disease have differences from respiratory parameters, different blood tests stages of chronic kidney disease before renal replacement therapy

Hémodialyse quotidienne en France : caractéristiques, trajectoires, accès à la greffe et survie des patients / Daily hemodialysis in France : characteristics, trajectories, access to renal transplantion and patients' survival

Pladys, Adélaïde 05 December 2016 (has links)
L’augmentation de la fréquence hebdomadaire des séances d’Hémodialyse (HD) serait la technique qui se rapprocherait le plus du rôle physiologique des reins. L’Hémodialyse quotidienne (HDQ) a été développée afin d’améliorer la qualité de vie des patients ainsi que l’épuration sanguine. Néanmoins, son association avec la survie reste controversée et son lien avec l’accès à la greffe rénale n’avait jusqu’alors jamais été étudié. Par ailleurs, les connaissances en termes de pratiques en France étaient jusqu’à aujourd’hui très faibles. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse vise à caractériser les patients français en HDQ et leurs trajectoires en plus d’analyser l’association entre l’HDQ et la transplantation rénale et la survie des patients. Une étude épidémiologique a été menée à partir du Réseau en Epidémiologie et Information en Néphrologie (REIN) où ont été inclus tous les patients âgés ≥18 ans et qui ont démarré une séance d’HDQ entre 2003 et 2012 en France. L’extraction d’un certain nombre de données biocliniques de REIN a permis de montrer que les patients français en HDQ étaient caractérisés pour présenter des profils très hétérogènes. En effet, en fonction de l’âge médian (64 ans) deux sous-groupes de patients ont pu être comparés : les âgés (moyenne d’âge : 76,6 ± 6,9 ans) en mauvaises conditions médicales et qui décédaient rapidement ; les jeunes (moyenne d’âge : 47,2 ± 12 ans) qui étaient en HDQ avant d’accéder à la greffe. Par ailleurs, en fonction des trajectoires initiales, deux sous-groupes ont également pu être comparés : patients démarrant directement par HDQ (dHDQ, n=257) ; patients démarrant par un autre traitement (cHDQ, n=496). Ensuite, cette thèse a permis de montrer qu’en France, après l’inscription sur la liste, les patients en HDQ avaient une moindre probabilité d’accéder à la greffe que les patients en HD 3x/semaine (SHR=0,74 ; IC 95%: 0,58-0,95). Par ailleurs, après ajustement sur l’âge, le sexe et les comorbidités, l’HDQ était associée avec un sur-risque de décès (HR=1,58 ; IC 95%: 1,4-1,8) en comparaison avec l’HD 3x/semaine. Ce travail de thèse a permis d’élucider nos connaissances en termes de pratiques associées avec l’HDQ bien que les raisons pour lesquelles les patients démarrent une HDQ ne sont pas connues. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que les indications pour l’HDQ en France sont probablement différentes de celles appliquées dans d’autres pays, ceci pourrait expliquer nos résultats en termes de mortalité. / An increase frequency of weekly sessions of Hemodialysis (HD) should be more physiological than a conventional HD 3x/week. Daily Hemodialysis (DHD) was developed in order to enhance patients’ quality of life in addition to blood purification. Nevertheless, its effect on survival remains controversial and the association between DHD and the access to renal transplantation has never been evaluated. Moreover, knowledges about DHD practices in France were until today very poor. In this context, the aims of this thesis was firstly, to describe profiles of French patients on DHD and their initial trajectories; secondly to analyze the association between DHD and renal transplantation, then survival in comparison with conventional HD 3x/week. An epidemiologic study has been conducted based on Renal Epidemiology and Information in Nephrology (REIN) registry. Were included all patients aged ≥18 years who initiated a DHD between 2003 and 2012 in France. Bio-clinical data analyses showed that French patients were characterized to present various profiles. Indeed, according to the median age (64 years), two sub-groups were distinguished and compared: old (mean age: 76.6 ± 6.9 years) in bad medical conditions who died rapidly; young (mean age: 47.2 ± 12 years) waiting for renal transplantation. Moreover, according to the initial trajectories, two sub-groups were also constructed: patients starting directly with DHD (dDHD, n=257); patients starting with another dialysis before switching for DHD (cDHD, n=496). Then, this thesis allowed showing that in France and after being waitlisting, patients on DHD had lower probability of being renal transplanted (SHR=0.74; 95%CI: 0.58-0.95). Then, after the adjustment on sex, age and comorbidities, DHD was associated with a higher risk of death compared to conventional HD 3sessions/week. Reasons why a patient started a DHD are unknown, but this work allows us to enhance our knowledges in terms of medical practices associated with DHD. We hypothesized that DHD indications in France might be different from other countries which could explain our results in terms of mortality.
