Abstract

The present study aimed to identify complications in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis and correlate them to socio-demographic and clinical factors. Cross-sectional study with 200 patients conducted in a nephrology clinic in the Northeast of Brazil. Data was collected in March and April 2015 through a structure questionnaire completed by the participants. Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests were performed in inferential analysis, and Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the relationship between categorical (nominal) and numerical variables. The statistically significant associations were hypotension with age, gender and interdialytic weight gain; chills with gender and interdialytic weight gain; vomiting with gender, dialysis site and Kt/V; headache with gender and age; dizziness with years of schooling, religious belief and interdialytic weight gain; arrhythmia and age; diarrhea and length of time on dialysis treatment; abdominal pain and interdialytic weight gain; sweating and age. It is concluded that complications during hemodialysis can be affected by socio-demographic and clinical factors.
