Abstract

Introduction: renal failure after cardiac revascularization surgery is a frequent complication that worsens the prognosis and quality of life of patients. Objective: The prevalence of morbidity and mortality in patients requiring hemodialysis due to the development of acute renal failure after cardiac revascularization surgery was assessed. Methodology: A sample of 116 patients admitted to the Alcivar hospital in the period from 2015 to 2019 was obtained. Then, descriptive statistics were utilized to evaluate the comorbidities of this type of patients; such as uremic encephalitis, uremic pericarditis, hospital stay, nosocomial infections and mortality. Conclusions: it was determined that uremic encephalitis and uremic pericarditis occurred in limited cases; however, the patients required prolonged hospital stays and there were several cases of nosocomial infections. Finally, the prevalence of mortality in these patients was assessed at 14.7%.
