A descriptive study with retrospective analytical components was conducted with cerebrovascular disease patients hospitalized in the Arnaldo Milian Castro Provincial University Hospital between January and December 2009 in order to determine the behavior of chronic kidney disease. The universe was formed by 416 patients admitted during the specified period in the Service of Neurology for non-traumatic cerebrovascular disease. The sample was formed by 256 patients who met the study inclusion criteria. In addressing the status of renal function, no significant differences in age, sex and skin color was found. The highest number corresponded to the age group between 60 to 79 years of age, and stage III of the disease among those with deterioration of renal function. Occult renal disease was present in a high percentage, the majority belonged to the age group 80 years and over and to the stage III. The most common cerebrovascular accident was the atherothrombotic one in stage II and III of the renal disease. Hypertension was prominent among the comorbidities, isolated and linked to diabetes mellitus. The intraparenchymal hemorrhage had the highest percentage of unsatisfactory evolution and those of ischemic type reached appreciable values, which could be related to advanced stages of kidney disease and the presence of associated diseases. Further studies on vascular diseases, where chronic kidney disease can affect the outcome and prognosis, are recommended.Downloads
