RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes e das dificuldades dos pacientes encaminhados, pelas unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) ou outros hospitais, ao ambulatório de triagem da disciplina de Nefrologia do Hospital São Paulo (UNIFESP) para avaliação e tratamento de doenças renais. MÉTODOS: No período de fevereiro a setembro de 2009, foram avaliados 341 pacientes encaminhados das UBS da cidade de São Paulo e de outras localidades do País. RESULTADOS: Desses pacientes, 26% (86/341) necessitaram de novos exames para definição do diagnóstico por encaminhamentos duvidosos, incompletos, ou devido ao período de espera para a realização dos exames e o atendimento, que variou de uma semana até três anos. Parte deles não trouxe nenhum tipo de exame para essa avaliação, 12% (45/341) retornaram para acompanhamento na própria unidade local, 13% (46/341) foram encaminhados para local de tratamento mais próximo de sua residência, 47% (164/341) para nosso ambulatório de subespecialidades: 24% (82/341) uremia, 8% (27/341) rins policísticos, 7% (23/341) hipertensão, 4% (16/341) litíase renal e 4% (16/341) nefrites. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos resultados sugerem investimentos em infraestrutura na capacitação dos funcionários das UBS e do HSP, reorganização das centrais de referências para melhor gerenciamento e encaminhamentos dos pacientes, humanização no atendimento e capacitação dos profissionais de saúde para o atendimento ambulatorial nas UBS, particularmente naqueles com diabetes mellitus e hipertensão arterial, que podem levar ao desenvolvimento da doença renal crônica (DRC).
