Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem throughout the world. Early detection and treatment can reduce morbidity, mortality and associated expenditures. The objective of present research is to explore the primary healthcare from a physician´s perspective, evaluating patient´s access to other levels of healthcare attention. Questionnaires were applied to sixty-two family physician working at primary healthcare units at Fortaleza city. Glomerular filtration rate was measured by only 8.1% of studied physicians when evaluating patients with diabetes and 4.8% when evaluating hypertensive patients. Majority of physicians (51.2%) refer patients with slight/moderate Glomerular filtration rate reduction to nephrologist´s care. Other way, 25.8% do not refer patients with an advanced Chronic kidney disease reduction to this specialist. The gap between healthcare levels difficulties the patient´s access, compromising healthcare´s integrality. New apparatus in healthcare organization between primary and secondary care is necessary. Matrixing process is a viable option to connect these healthcare attention levels in organizing the care of patients with Chronic kidney disease or its main risk factors (diabetes and arterial hypertension).
