- Abstract
A prospective study was conducted at the department of the National Hospital in Niamey, Niger Lamordé over a period of 12 months (from January 1 to December 31, 2009) on 99 patients on chronic hemodialysis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects of arterial hypertension in this population., The average age was 37 years (range 17 to 65) , the prevalence of arterial hypertension was 61.61 %. The most common functional signs are headache, present in 29.50 % of patients, dizziness in 24.59% and phosphenes in 18.03% of them. Low arterial hypertension was found in 21.32%, mild for 44.26% of patients and severe in 34.42%, tachycardia in 21.31% and heart murmur in 19.67% of them. The dominant etiologies of chronic renal failure in this series remain the chronic glomerulonephritis in 62.30% of cases and the nephroangiosclerosis in 36.06 % of the cases. Cardiomegaly is found in more than half of the patients, the atrial and ventricular hypertrophy in 39.34% and repolarization disorders in 19.67% of them. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients have been standardized in 26.22% under dialysis alone, dialysis plus inhibitor of angiotensin conversion enzyme alone 44.26%, or associated with a calcium channel blocker with 21.33%, and in 8.19% of them arterial hypertension resisted. At the end of this study, there is a high prevalence of arterial hypertension with cardiac resonance in patients on chronic hemodialysis, and its mechanism appears to be natural or volo-dependent, renin-dépendant or both., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.
