RESUMO
A insuficiência renal crônica (IRC) é uma doença sistêmica caracterizada pela perda progressiva e irreversível das funções renais. Manifestações sistêmicas causadas pela IRC podem acometer o meio bucal, favorecendo a instalação ou a progressão de processos infecciosos. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o grau de conhecimento dos pacientes com IRC a respeito do laudo odontológico sobre as manifestações das infecções bucais. Foi selecionada uma amostra de 390 pacientes com IRC e aplicado um questionário durante as sessões de hemodiálise. Os dados obtidos foram organizados no programa Excel 2000 e submetidos à análise estatística pelo programa Bioestat 5.0. A grande maioria dos pacientes sabia que infecções poderiam prejudicar o sucesso do transplante, mas 32,82% não reconhecia cárie e sangramento gengival como infecções bucais. A cada três pacientes, somente um possuía o laudo odontológico, no entanto, parte deles relataram sintomas que exigem reavaliação do dentista. Entre os sintomas pesquisados, a xerostomia (50,51%) e alterações no hálito (45,64%) foram os mais relatados. Deste modo, há necessidade de conscientizar as equipes de profissionais e da pessoa com IRC sobre a importância de prevenir e/ou controlar as infecções bucais para a realização e o sucesso do transplante renal
ABSTRACT
The chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a systemic disease characterized by irreversible and progressive loss of kidney functions. Systemic manifestations caused by CKD may affect the oral environment, propitiating the installation of infectious processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge of CKD patients about the dental report on oral infections. A sample of 390 patients with CKF was selected. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire, answered by the patients during hemodialysis sessions. Data were organized using Excel 2000 and later submitted to statistical analysis by Bioestat 5.0. The great majority of the patients knew that infections could compromise the success of the transplant, but 32.82% did not recognized caries and gingival bleeding as oral infections. One in each three patients had a dental report; however some of them have reported symptoms that require a reevaluation of the dentist. Among the studied symptoms, the xerostomia (50,51%) and alteration of the halitus (45.64%) were the most reported. It was verified that it is necessary to aware the professional teams and patients with CKD about de importance to prevent and/or control oral infections to perform successful kidney transplant
