Abstract
Objective: To identify changes in estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and associated factors in patients with Systemic Arterial Hypertension. Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective study, performed through the medical records of 280 hypertensive patients admitted to a Hospital in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais, between January 2020 and March 2021. The eGFR was calculated by the equation developed by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI). The patients were divided into two groups, with changes and without changes in the glomerular filtration rate, and the factors related to each of these were evaluated. Results: Of the total number of participants, 27.86% had altered eGFR, with the pattern of hypertensive patients at higher risk of developing CKD characterized as: men, white, aged 60 years or over. Conclusion: The prevalence of eGFR alteration in hypertensive patients is high, and its associated factors are: DM, electrolyte disturbances and greater difficulty in controlling blood pressure.
