Popis: | Introduction Monitoring Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in different stages of chronic kidney disease is advised by all nephrology societies. We aimed to study the relation between quality of life and dialysis adequacy. Methods One hundred patients (51% males), on regular hemodialysis 3/week for > 6 months in two hospitals were included. Single pool Kt/V was used to assess dialysis adequacy. Patients were grouped into 3 divisions according to Kt/v: Group A > 1.5 (n = 24), group B 1.2–1.5 (n = 54) and group C n = 22). KDQOL-SF™ questionnaire was used to study quality of life in our groups. Group C was reassessed after 3 months of improving Kt/v. Results Mean values were: Kt/V (1.48 ± 0.41), Cognitive Function (84.27 ± 9.96), Work status (30.00 ± 33.33), Energy (45.70 ± 13.89), Physical Function and Role limitations due to physical function (45.30 ± 12.39 and 31.25 ± 19.26, respectively). Group A had significantly higher scores of KDQOL-SF except Role limitations due to Physical Function. All subscales improved in group C after Kt/v improvement except 3 subscales, namely, work status, patient satisfaction and role limitation due to physical and emotional functions. Conclusion Inadequate HD badly affects quality of life and improving adequacy refines many components of quality of life. |
