“Protocolo base para manejo odontológico de pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica (irc)”.

Abstract

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) require specific considerations prior to dental treatment. In turn, patients with CKD who are candidates for kidney transplantation require prior dental evaluation to eliminate septic foci that may interfere with systemic treatment. In this study, a cross-sectional, descriptive, observational analysis was carried out in a population of 76 patients with a diagnosis of CKD from the COSMITET Institution in the city of Popayán (Colombia) and, through a literature review, the importance of oral health is confirmed for CKD patients and a dental care protocol is proposed for this systemic condition.
