LA DERIVACION TEMPRANA AL NEFROLOGO MEJORA LOS RESULTADOS A LARGO PLAZO EN LA ENFERMEDAD RENAL CRONICA

Resumen
La enfermedad renal crónica es una patología creciente en todo el mundo y cada vez es mayor la prevalencia de pacientes en diálisis, lo que ocasiona un costo muy elevado. En los últimos años han cobrado relevancia los adecuados cuidados en la etapa prediálisis. Para ello es fundamental detectar la enfermedad en sus primeras fases, lo que puede permitir adoptar las medidas necesarias para su tratamiento o, en su caso, retrasar su progresión y prevenir las complicaciones asociadas. A pesar de todo siguen siendo muchos los pacientes que son vistos por primera vez por un especialista en nefrología en etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad como consecuencia de su derivación tardía. Los factores que ocasionan este fenómeno son numerosos e implican tanto a los médicos, como a los pacientes y al sistema sanitario. Las consecuencias negativas de la derivación tardía ya han sido demostradas en cuanto a morbilidad, mortalidad y costos, pero todavía no está demostrado cuál es el mejor momento de iniciar la diálisis en función del filtrado glomerular. Es imprescindible la elaboración y difusión de guías clínicas junto con la colaboración entre nefrólogos y médicos generales para disminuir el impacto de la derivación tardía.

Palabras clave
referencia tardía, inicio de diálisis, enfermedad renal crónica

EARLY REFERRAL TO NEPHROLOGISTS OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE OUTCOME

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is increasing worldwide, and its prevalence in patients on hemodialysis keeps growing, causing a steep rise in health care expenditures. In recent years, the importance of appropriate patient care at the pre-dialysis stage, has gained relevance. Therefore, detection of the disease in its early stages is essential, since it would allow for treatment measures to slow its progression and prevent associated complications. In spite of those efforts, a great number of patients consult the nephrologist in advanced stages of renal disease, due to late referrals. This situation, which involves physicians, patients, and the healthcare system, is caused by multiple factors. The negative consequences of late referrals on morbility, mortality and healthcare expenditures were demonstrated, but the best time to start dialysis based on the glomerular filtration rate, has not been determined yet. In order to diminish the impact of late referrals, the development and dissemination of clinical guidelines together with a coordinated action between nephrologists and general practitioners are essential.

Key words
late referral, start of dialysis, chronic kidney disease
