Introduction. Renal transplantation represents the best treatment choice for patients with chronic kidney disease, as it provides a better quality of life in comparison with chronic dialysis. Materials and Methods. This longitudinal prospective study comprises of a number of 106 patients with chronic kidney disease, assessed before and after the renal transplant surgery. The main tool used to accomplish this task was the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire, that rated the autoperceived physical and mental health. Results. Renal transplanted patients have significantly higher scores at the six months postoperative follow-up concerning Physical Functioning (PF) (p=0.003), General Health (GH) (p<0.001), Vitality (VT) (p<0.001), Social Functioning (SF) (p=0.005) and Mental Health (MH) (p=0.014) as opposed to before surgery. Other aspects of the autoperceived health have only improved somewhat, like Bodily Pain (BP) (p=0.102), Physical Role (RP) (p=0.102) and Emotional Role (RE) (p=0.666). The average physical health score at the six months postoperative follow-up is significantly higher as opposed to the average physical health score before transplantation (p<0.001). Also, the average mental health score at the six months postoperative follow-up is significantly higher as opposed to the average mental health score before transplantation (p<0.001), and it has a negative correlation with the age of the patients (p=0.032), meaning that this score improves greater for younger patients, and less for the older ones. Conclusions. After the renal transplant surgery we observed a significant increase of the autoperceived health status, both for physical and mental functions. Mental health is more important and better perceived in cases of younger patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
