[Etiologic and relevant factor analysis of 1,622 ESRD patients with hemodialysis in Hunan province].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the etiology and the relevant factors such as age, sex, blood pressure, outcomes and causes of death in end stage renal disease (ESRD) with hemodialysis (HD) in some hospitals in Hunan province.


METHODS
The retrospective analysis included 1,622 ESRD with HD patients. Data on the etiology, demographic and epidemiologic aspects of these patients were examined, and life expectancy and mortality rate were calculated.


RESULTS
In 1,622 ESRD with HD patients, the average age at the start of HD was 46.91 +/- 15.41, and the male/female ratio was 1.45/1. As the leading cause, chronic glomerulonephritis accounted for 56.43%, followed by hypertensive nephropathy (12.58%), obstructive nephropathy (9.13%) and diabetic nephropathy (8.85%). In recent years, the constituent ratio of diabetic nephropathy rose. The number of ESRD maintenance HD (MHD) patients was 581. Among them, 43.7% remained MHD, 13.0% received renal transplantation, 19.9% were transferred to other hospitals for HD, 7.2% became peritoneal dialysis, 14.8% died, and 1.4% ceased treament for economic reasons. The longest MHD was 13 years. The 1st-year, 3rd-year and 5th-year survial rate of MHD patients was 93.53%, 68.92% and 62.51%, respectively. The leading cause of death was cardiovascular incidence. In this group of ESRD with (53.6%), and then cerebrovascular disorder (21.0%).


CONCLUSIONS
HD patients, the age of starting dialysis was 30 approximately 70. The first cause was chronic glomerulonephritis. As the age increased, the constituent ratio of diabetic nephropathy rose. In MHD patients, the 1st-year, 3rd-year and 5th-year survial rate of maintenance hemodialysis patients was 93.53%, 68.92% and 62.51%, respectively. The first cause of death was cardiovascular accidence, and then cerebrovascular disorder.
