          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: La Enfermedad Renal se considera un problema de salud pública asociado a los estilos de vida de la población. El progreso de la enfermedad a estadio terminal requiere tratamiento de hemodiálisis, condición de salud que genera cambios a nivel social, económico, emocional y físico. Objetivo: Describir los significados que asigna la persona con enfermedad renal crónica al tratamiento de hemodiálisis. Material y Método: Investigación cualitativa, con enfoque en la teoría fundamentada. Al estudio se vincularon 18 personas mayores de 18 años de edad y en tratamiento de hemodiálisis. La recolección de la información se hizo a través de entrevistas en profundidad hasta conseguir la saturación teórica. El análisis de los datos se llevó a cabo en el programa ATLAS.ti9. Resultados: Se hallaron cuatro categorías: perdiendo la función renal, modificando los estilos de vida, cambiando la forma de vivir con la hemodiálisis y viviendo con hemodiálisis, estas categorías, simbolizan los significados al tratamiento de hemodiálisis. Conclusión: El tratamiento con hemodiálisis cambia el pronóstico de la enfermedad renal crónica, disminuyendo la morbilidad y la mortalidad. La persona durante el tratamiento debe adaptarse y enfrentar cambios físicos, fisiológicos, emocionales, sociales y familiares.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Kidney disease is considered a public health problem directly associated with people's lifestyles. The disease´s evolution into the terminal stage requires hemodialysis treatment, a health situation that generates changes at a social, economic, emotional, and physical level. Objective: To describe the meaning that patients with chronic kidney disease link to hemodialysis treatment. Material and Method: Qualitative research, focusing on solid base theory. Eighteen people over 18 years old and undergoing hemodialysis treatment were considered in the survey. The information gathering was carried out through in-depth interviews until theoretical saturation was achieved. Data analysis was carried out using ATLAS.ti9 program. Results: Four categories were found: 1) losing kidney function, 2) changing lifestyles, 3) changing the way of living with hemodialysis treatment, and 4) living with hemodialysis treatment. These categories provide further meaning to hemodialysis treatment. Conclusions: Hemodialysis treatment changes the prognosis of chronic kidney disease, reducing morbidity and mortality. During the treatment, the patient must face and get adapted to physical, physiological, emotional, social, and family changes.

          Chronic Kidney Disease.

          The definition and classification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have evolved over time, but current international guidelines define this condition as decreased kidney function shown by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m(2), or markers of kidney damage, or both, of at least 3 months duration, regardless of the underlying cause. Diabetes and hypertension are the main causes of CKD in all high-income and middle-income countries, and also in many low-income countries. Incidence, prevalence, and progression of CKD also vary within countries by ethnicity and social determinants of health, possibly through epigenetic influence. Many people are asymptomatic or have non-specific symptoms such as lethargy, itch, or loss of appetite. Diagnosis is commonly made after chance findings from screening tests (urinary dipstick or blood tests), or when symptoms become severe. The best available indicator of overall kidney function is GFR, which is measured either via exogenous markers (eg, DTPA, iohexol), or estimated using equations. Presence of proteinuria is associated with increased risk of progression of CKD and death. Kidney biopsy samples can show definitive evidence of CKD, through common changes such as glomerular sclerosis, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis. Complications include anaemia due to reduced production of erythropoietin by the kidney; reduced red blood cell survival and iron deficiency; and mineral bone disease caused by disturbed vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate metabolism. People with CKD are five to ten times more likely to die prematurely than they are to progress to end stage kidney disease. This increased risk of death rises exponentially as kidney function worsens and is largely attributable to death from cardiovascular disease, although cancer incidence and mortality are also increased. Health-related quality of life is substantially lower for people with CKD than for the general population, and falls as GFR declines. Interventions targeting specific symptoms, or aimed at supporting educational or lifestyle considerations, make a positive difference to people living with CKD. Inequity in access to services for this disease disproportionally affects disadvantaged populations, and health service provision to incentivise early intervention over provision of care only for advanced CKD is still evolving in many countries.

            Global nephrology workforce: gaps and opportunities toward a sustainable kidney care system

            The health workforce is the cornerstone of any health care system. An adequately trained and sufficiently staffed workforce is essential to reach universal health coverage. In particular, a nephrology workforce is critical to meet the growing worldwide burden of kidney disease. Despite some attempts, the global nephrology workforce and training capacity remains widely unknown. This multinational cross-sectional survey was part of the Global Kidney Health Atlas project, a new initiative administered by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). The objective of this study was to address the existing global nephrology workforce and training capacity. The questionnaire was administered online, and all data were analyzed and presented by ISN regions and World Bank country classification. Overall, 125 United Nations member states responded to the entire survey, with 121 countries responding to survey questions pertaining to the nephrology workforce. The global nephrologist density was 8.83 per million population (PMP); high-income countries reported a nephrologist density of 28.52 PMP compared with 0.31 PMP in low-income countries. Similarly, the global nephrologist trainee density was 1.87 PMP; high-income countries reported a 30 times greater nephrology trainee density than low-income countries (6.03 PMP vs. 0.18 PMP). Countries reported a shortage in all care providers in nephrology. A nephrology training program existed in 79% of countries, ranging from 97% in high-income countries to 41% in low-income countries. In countries with a training program, the majority (86%) of programs were 2 to 4 years, and the most common training structure (56%) was following general internal medicine. We found significant variation in the global density of nephrologists and nephrology trainees and shortages in all care providers in nephrology; the gap was more prominent in low-income countries, particularly in African and South Asian ISN regions. These findings point to significant gaps in the current nephrology workforce and opportunities for countries and regions to develop and maintain a sustainable workforce.

              Increasing access to integrated ESKD care as part of universal health coverage

              The global nephrology community recognizes the need for a cohesive strategy to address the growing problem of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In March 2018, the International Society of Nephrology hosted a summit on integrated ESKD care, including 92 individuals from around the globe with diverse expertise and professional backgrounds. The attendees were from 41 countries, including 16 participants from 11 low- and lower-middle-income countries. The purpose was to develop a strategic plan to improve worldwide access to integrated ESKD care, by identifying and prioritizing key activities across 8 themes: (i) estimates of ESKD burden and treatment coverage, (ii) advocacy, (iii) education and training/workforce, (iv) financing/funding models, (v) ethics, (vi) dialysis, (vii) transplantation, and (viii) conservative care. Action plans with prioritized lists of goals, activities, and key deliverables, and an overarching performance framework were developed for each theme. Examples of these key deliverables include improved data availability, integration of core registry measures and analysis to inform development of health care policy; a framework for advocacy; improved and continued stakeholder engagement; improved workforce training; equitable, efficient, and cost-effective funding models; greater understanding and greater application of ethical principles in practice and policy; definition and application of standards for safe and sustainable dialysis treatment and a set of measurable quality parameters; and integration of dialysis, transplantation, and comprehensive conservative care as ESKD treatment options within the context of overall health priorities. Intended users of the action plans include clinicians, patients and their families, scientists, industry partners, government decision makers, and advocacy organizations. Implementation of this integrated and comprehensive plan is intended to improve quality and access to care and thereby reduce serious health-related suffering of adults and children affected by ESKD worldwide.
