Introduction and Objectives. estimating the quality of life in relation to the health status is a helpful tool in assessing the results and determining the efficacy of any form of treatment. The main purpose of this study is to rate the patients' quality of life after renal transplantation. The objectives of this paper are: to describe the demographic characteristics of the included patients, to compare their auto perceived quality of life before and after kidney transplant surgery, and to find and analyze correlations between the demographic characteristics and the quality of life after renal transplantation. Materials and Methods. This observational descriptive study was performed in a longitudinal and prospective manner. 106 patients that had been treated for chronic kidney disease through renal transplantation were included, and they were assessed before surgery, and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. In order to evaluate them we used the Quality of Life Index - Kidney Transplant. Results. Most of the patients are males. The quality of life scores for the four individual sub-domains follow the overall score model, slightly dropping one month after transplantation compared to the pre surgery level, then constantly rising going through all the other three assessment moments (3, 6 and 12 months after surgery). Conclusions. This study analyzes the impact of renal transplantation on the quality of life of the chronic kidney disease patients. Our results clearly show a positive trend on the auto perceived quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
