Abstract

Introduction: Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and stage G5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are physiologically linked. This causes frequent hospitalizations for these problems. However, data on the association of both pathologies are more restricted, which causes limited information in the literature. Objective: To evaluate the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients with stage G5 CKD and HFrEF in Guanambi-BA, Brazil. Methodology: Clinical, observational, cross-sectional research with a quantitative approach, exploratory objective and descriptive epidemiological evaluation profile. The study was carried out with hemodialysis patients from the Hospital do Rim de Guanambi-BA, present at the unit during the data collection period and presenting CKD stage G5 and HFrEF. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analysis of medical records. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) software was used for the analysis. Results: Most patients were men, of mixed ethnicity, non-Guanambian origin/origin, low education, family income per capita between one and three minimum wages, hypertensive, using BB and other medications, on dialysis between three and six years , with CKD due to hypertensive nephrosclerosis, with residual diuresis, with idiopathic HF, ACA/AHA stage C classification and NYHA class III classification. Conclusion: The individuals in the study present an accumulation of many comorbidities, which generates numerous complications, causing physical limitations of impact on daily activities, in addition to leading to polypharmacy so that these problems are mitigated.
