This study aimed to describe socioeconomic and
clinical aspects of chronic kidney patients receiving hemodialysis,
with the nursing diagnosis of Fluid Volume Excess. It is a transversal
study, undertaken in a teaching hospital and hemodialysis clinic
in the Northeast of Brazil, with a sample of 100 patients. Data
collection was undertaken using a questionnaire which covered
clinical and social economic data, between December 2012 and
April 2013. The majority of patients with a diagnosis were female, of
mixed African and European descent, retired, with a companion,
claimed to follow a religion, had a mean age of 50.4 years old, had
studied for a mean of 6.5 years, and had a mean income of two
minimum salaries. Furthermore, they had hypertension, azotemia
and hyperkalemia, had had kidney disease for a median of 37
months and had been receiving hemodialysis for a median of
33.5 months. They were receiving drug treatment with sevelamer
hydrochloride, folic acid, recombinant human erythropoietin
and antihypertensive medications. Identifying socioeconomic
and clinical aspects contributed to the nursing team’s knowledge
of the context in which the chronic kidney patients are inserted.
