Abstract

Introduction: The diagnosis of end -stage chronic kidney disease confronts the patient with the need to adjust and acquire coping strategies in the face of the possibility of depending on a dialysis machine for their survival. This period is variable and given the recurrent complications of the chronic kidney disease (CKD), it likely leads to an intermittent and/or chronic adjustment disorder. In this way, our objective is to characterize the outpatient population of the 1st Psychiatry -Nephrology Liaison Consultation at Centro Hospitalar Tondela -Viseu in 8 years.
Methods: We consulted all of the Psychiatry -Nephrology Liaison Consultation referrals at Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu from January of 2014 to December of 2021.
Results: One hundred and eighteen patients were referred to the Psychiatry -Nephrology Liaison Consultation at Centro Hospitalar Tondela ‑Viseu from January of 2014 to December of 2021, totaling 547. Growing scientific evidence reports a high prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders, namely cognitive degeneration, depressive disorders and anxiety disorders in patients with CKD. In the studied population, a high prevalence of adjustment and depressive disorders as well as cognitive decline of multifactorial etiology was observed.
Conclusion: Brain ‑kidney interactions are complex and multifaceted, explaining the significant neuropsychiatric comorbidity observed in patients with CKD. Therefore, there is a clear need of medical and nursing team awareness for distress symptoms and psychiatric disorders in this population, and their subsequent need for liaison referral. This intervention aims to promote disease experience adaptation, while facilitating adherence to treatments and management of secondary effects thereof. We found that the profile of the patient referred to the Psychiatry ‑Nephrology Liaison Consultation at Centro Hospitalar Tondela -Viseu to be the 63 years old male, with end -stage CKD requiring hemodialysis, referred for depressive symptoms, who is diagnosed with a adjustment disorder and medicated with an association of antidepressant and anxiolytic.
