Abstract

Background: Heart Failure (HF) is a common disease with a high rate of mortality. Anemia and renal failure (RF) are often found in patients with HF associated with higher severity of the heart disease and a worse prognosis., Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of anemia and RF, as well as the association between these two conditions, in non-hospitalized patients with HF., Methods: Patients treated at the HF Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital were followed from July 2003 to November 2006. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin levels < 13 mg/dl for men and 12 mg/dl for women. Renal function was assessed by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), calculated by the simplified formula of the MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) study., Results: Of the 345 patients included in this study, 26.4% (n = 91) had anemia and 29.6% had moderate to severe renal failure (GFR < 60 ml/min). The association between anemia and a higher prevalence of renal failure was statistically significant (41.8% vs. 25.2%; p = 0.005). The patients at functional class III and IV presented a higher incidence of anemia (39.0% vs. 19.4%; p <0.001) and renal failure (38.2% vs. 24.8%; p = 0.007). No association was observed between anemia or renal failure and history of hypertension, diabetes, systolic function or etiology of HF., Conclusion: The prevalence of anemia and renal failure was high in this population and was associated with the severity of the HF (functional classes III and IV).

Abstract

FUNDAMENTOS: Insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma doença comum com alta taxa de mortalidade. Anemia e insuficiência renal (IR) são frequentemente encontradas em portadores de IC associadas com maior gravidade da doença cardíaca e pior prognóstico. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de anemia e insuficiência renal, bem como a associação entre esses dois quadros, em portadores de IC não hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Foram observados pacientes acompanhandos na clínica de IC de um hospital universitário de julho de 2003 a novembro de 2006. Anemia foi definida como níveis de hemoglobina abaixo de 13 mg/dl para homens e de 12 mg/dl para mulheres. A função renal foi avaliada por meio da taxa de filtração glomerular (TFG), calculada pela fórmula simplificada do estudo MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease). RESULTADOS: Dos trezentos e quarenta e cinco pacientes incluídos neste estudo, 26,4% (n = 91) tinham anemia e 29,6% tinham insuficiência renal moderada a grave (TFG < 60 ml/min). A associação entre anemia e maior prevalência de insuficiência renal foi estatisticamente significante (41,8% vs. 25,2%; p = 0,005). Os pacientes em classe funcional III e IV apresentaram maior incidência de anemia (39,0% vs. 19,4%; p
