Relationship between pressoric levels and glomerular filtration rate: assessment in primary care

Systemic arterial hypertension affects more than 30% of the adult population and one of its complications is the reduction of renal function. The present study aimed to: Evaluate the glomerular filtration rate in hypertensive patients treated at a basic health unit in the city of Lages - SC. This is an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and retrospective study conducted from the collection and analysis of data from medical records. There were 158 medical records, 115 (72.78%) female and 43 (27.22%) male, with a mean age of 67.3 years, mean weight of 73.3 kg, and mean glomerular filtration rate of 67.93. ml / min / 1.732.Statistically significant and directly proportional correlation was observed between age and creatinine, weight and creatinine, weight and systolic BP, weight and diastolic BP, weight and GFR, systolic BP and diastolic BP. Statistically significant but inversely proportional correlations were evidenced between weight and age, age and GFR, creatinine and GFR. This study presents the profile of a small proportion of individuals with hypertension, highlighting the importance of performing renal function tests, with a view to investigating the occurrence of comorbidities and early establishing health promotion and protection actions.
