Description
Summary:This article provides a review of the literature on the problem of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. The article, based on foreign literature, considers the survival and mortality of hemodialysis patients. There is a high percentage of deaths due to cardiovascular pathologies in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving renal replacement therapy. The influence of cardiovascular pathologies on survival rates is described in detail according to the data of national and international renal registries. The data are provided on the study of the structure of the causes of death in hemodialysis patients. The factors influencing the survival rate and mortality in hemodialysis patients, such as smoking, preservation of diuresis, obesity, cholesterol concentration, serum potassium level, etc, are presented in detail. The urgency and necessity of studying this problem is noted, which dictates the need for purposeful efforts to reduce mortality in dialysis patients.
