Abstract

Introduction: Bone abnormalities in chronic kidney patients make them more prone to fractures than the general population, in addition to exposure to clinical events related to fall, which may interfere with their quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the risk of falls and quality of life in chronic kidney patients with mineral and bone disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 50 patients classified into two groups: low remodeling (n = 20) and high remodeling (n = 30). Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded, assessing the risk of falls (International Falls Efficiency Scale) and quality of life (Medical Outcomes Study SF-36). Results: The prevalence of risk of falls among low and high remodeling patients was 65% and 50%, respectively, as well as a greater impairment of SF-36 in both groups. Conclusion: There was a high risk of falls with greater impairment of physical aspects related to quality of life.
