VAZQUEZ-JIMENEZ, Lourdes Carolina et al. Relationship between anxiety and depression with dialysis adequacy parameters: an exploratory study in Paraguay. Mem. Inst. Investig. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.98-109. ISSN 1812-9528.  https://doi.org/10.18004/mem.iics/1812-9528/2022.020.01.98.

Patients with chronic kidney disease may present depression and anxiety, which could hinder the management of renal pathology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anxiety, depression, and dialysis adequacy parameters. This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, temporally prospective, exploratory study. Sociodemographic, clinical, psychopathological (anxiety and depression, through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and dialysis adequacy variables were measured (clearance time/volume, Kt/V; percentage of urea reduction, PRU, vascular access recirculation, calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product, hemoglobin, and hematocrit). Descriptive statistics were used, in addition to chi-square, Student's t-test and one-factor ANOVA, as appropriate, to search for associations. Statistical significance was established at p<0.005. Forty six patients were included in the study, 61% was male. Thirteen percent qualified as a clinical problem of anxiety and 6.5% as one of depression. Anxiety was related to hematocrit values (p<0.05), while depression was related to hematocrit and hemoglobin (p<0.05). A relationship was found between female sex and the presence of anxiety (p<0.05). No associations were found between psychopathology and other dialysis adequacy parameters. This research, being the first of its kind in the country, allows opening possibilities for future research, which may deepen in the mental health of patients with renal disease.
