ABSTRACT

Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal para determinar las tasas de mortalidad y letalidad por insuficiencia renal crónica, calculadas sobre la base de pacientes en estadio terminal, atendidos en el Servicio de Hemodiálisis del Hospital General Docente Dr Juan Bruno Zayas de Santiago de Cuba. Las infecciones constituyeron la principal causa de muerte de los pacientes con tratamiento hemodialítico. La mortalidad en hemodiálisis representó un porcentaje elevado del total de fallecidos en la institución en más de un quinquenio
