The patients were divided into 3 groups interms of the age range in order to analyze whether the electrolyteimbalance would develop as a result of the increase in patients'ages.Results: When the seasonal groups were compared in terms ofurea, creatinine, and eGFR, urea and creatinine values were foundto be statistically higher in summer when temperature values werehigh while sodium, potassium, and eGFR values were detected tobe low (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada acil servislere başvuran geriatrik hasta popülasyonunda hava sıcaklığındaki değişikliklerin elektrolit dengesizliği ve böbrek fonksiyon bozukluğu ile ilişkili olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üstü 29,225 hasta dahil edildi ve bu hastalar mevsimlere göre dört gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların yaşlarındaki artışa bağlı olarak elektrolit dengesizliğinin gelişip gelişmeyeceğini analiz etmek için hastalar yaş aralığı açısından 3 gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Mevsimsel gruplar üre, kreatinin ve eGFR açısından karşılaştırıldığında, sıcaklık değerlerinin yüksek olduğu yaz aylarında üre ve kreatinin değerleri istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek, sodyum, potasyum ve eGFR değerlerinin düşük olduğu tespit edildi (p
