Sažetak
Compliance is a major obstacle to achieving phosphorus control in the majority of patients with end-stage renal disease. We investigated self-reported medication adherence and its correlation with serum phosphate levels and nutritional status in hemodialysis patients. A total of 417 patients from Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, mean age 63.82 (range, 21- 92) years, were included in the study. There were 55.1% of male patients with the mean dialysis vintage of 68.67 (range, 3-456) months. A signifi cant positive correlation was found between self- reported adherence and serum phosphorus (0.192), and negative correlation with hemoglobin, prealbumin, albumin, Kt/V and residual diuresis (-0.187, -0.227, -0.100, 0.192, and -0.106, respectively). On the other hand, the number of pills taken daily correlated signifi cantly with residual diuresis, serum prealbumin, serum glucose, triglycerides, ferritin and ultrafi ltration volume (0.241, 0.154, 0.158, 0.112, 0.201 and 0.125, respectively). In conclusion, self- reported medication adherence correlates with serum phosphate levels, residual diuresis and nutritional status in hemodialysis patients.
