We assessed quality of life by Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire-Turkish Version (KDQOL-SF), functional status by Six Minute Walk Test (SMW), physical activity level by International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Long Form (IPAQ-LF). The antropometric measurements were performed with the bioelectrical impedance. Assessments were done at the beginning and 3 months later.
