Abstract:

This study aimed to identify the actions and financial allocations directed toward renal replacement therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease during the COVID-19 pandemic in the state of Paraná, Brazil. A documentary research design was employed, drawing on data extracted from six official Brazilian health platforms. Seventeen documents produced between January 2020 and May 2023 were selected for analysis; of these, 41.18% (n = 7) addressed financial investments in RRT, while 58.82% (n = 10) described actions implemented during the pandemic period. Data analysis was guided by the quality-of-care evaluation triad: structure, process, and outcomes. The findings indicate that both the funding and measures adopted during the pandemic were primarily aimed at expanding installed capacity, adapting infrastructure, and reorganizing services to ensure continuity and quality of care for patients undergoing renal replacement therapy.
