ABSTRACT

Introduction: chronic renal failure is a public health problem in older adults. Objective: to establish the possible relationship between the progression of chronic renal failure and kidney damage markers in older adults. Methods: a prospective analytical cohort study was developed in 104 older adults from the southern territory of Ciego de Ávila, who met the inclusion criteria, between November 2017 and June 2019. The glomerular filtration rate was estimated at six, 12 and 18 months. A linear model was used for repeated measures (significance level of 95 %). The ethical principles of the investigations were complied with. Results: at the beginning, markers of renal damage were detected in 59,62 % of the patients. At six months, 54,81 % had progression of the damage, at 12 the percentage increased to 56,73 % and at 18 to 57,69 %. No progression was seen in those with no markers detected at baseline. The relationship between the presence of the marker and the progression of the disease was demonstrated. The relationship between the presence of the marker and the progression of the disease was demonstrated. The most frequent cause was diabetes mellitus (42,31 %), and the most common complication was cardiovascular (9,62 %). Primary glomerulopathies were those with the fastest progression (9,62 %). Conclusions: during the follow-up of the patients, the relationship between the presence of kidney damage markers and the progression of chronic kidney disease was demonstrated.
