Rize bölgesinde hemodiyalize giren hastalarda huzursuz bacak sendrom sikliği ve ilişkili faktörler

Abstract

Aim: Our aim was to determine the prevalence of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in patients on hemodialysis in Rize and to compare the demographic and biochemical characteristics in patients with and without RLS. Method: We enrolled all the patients over 18 years of age who were on hemodialysis for at least three months between April and June 2014 in five dialysis centers in Rize. RLS patients’ diagnoses were confirmed using the The International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) criteria. Age, duration of hemodialysis, presence of diabetes, hemoglobin and hematocrit values, serum levels of urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphor, glucose, albumin, uric acid, iron, iron binding capacity, ferritin, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were recorded. Results: 148 patients (43,2% female) were included in this study. The mean age of patients was 61.00 ± 14,9 years (18-86). The mean duration of hemodialysis was 49,47 ± 67,3 months (4-552). RLS was detected in 50 patients (33,7%). While the ratio of patients with diabetes was 58% in RLS group, this ratio was 32,7% in RLS negative group (p= 0.003). Levels of fasting plasma glucose were significantly different in the two groups (151,40 ± 81.81 vb 116,00 ± 57.22, p= 0.003). While 58% of patients with RLS were female, this ratio was 35,7% in patients without RLS (p= 0.014). PTH, C-reactive protein, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, iron, iron binding capacity and ferritin levels were similar in the two groups. Conclusion:We found a 33.7% prevalence of RLS in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment and the ratio of diabetes and female genderwere higher in patients with RLS. © 2015 Düzce Medical Journal.
