“…Our study confirmed the results of the previous one that the chronic kidney disease severely hampers the quality of life. It also confirmed the results of other studies that the psychological well-being is affected worst (2). Some new evidence is added for the significant influence of the transplantation on the QoL.…”

“…Other researchers report [19][20][21] that ESRD patients undergoing renal replacement therapy experience many physical and emotional symptoms, which were evaluated in the present study with the use of the ESAS scale. It was noticed that physical symptoms of the disease, with the exception of chronic fatigue and dyspnoea, were not significantly severe and in terms of frequency they were similar to those of other researchers [19,21].…”

Introduction: Perception of illness is the way in which a condition is perceived, which reflects the patient's attitude towards illness and treatment. Aim: The aim of the research was to understand the perception of illness among patients treated with haemodialysis. The specific goal was to determine the factors affecting the perception of the illness and their interrelationships. Material and methods: The study included 98 people treated with haemodialysis as part of the international project "Health, coping, and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease and in their families". As research tools the following were used: the Barthel Index, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL), Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale-Revised (ESAS-R), and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) Scoring Instructions. Results: The perception of illness in the study group was significantly influenced by the intensity of physical symptoms (p = 0.007), especially dyspnoea or fatigue. Whereas, the following areas of the perception of illness: Consequences, Treatment control, Timeline, Illness concern, and Comprehensibility were mainly affected by functional efficiency, age, and education level. A worse perception of illness was observed with the increase in IADL dependency, younger age, and lower education level. Conclusions: 1. Perception of illness in the study group was at a moderate level. 2. Perception of illness in the study group was most strongly influenced by the intensity of symptoms, especially dyspnoea and fatigue. 3. Functional efficiency, age, and education significantly affected the perception of illness.

“…Hence, some studies have shown that quality of life (QOL), assessed by internationally validated questionnaires, is worse in individuals with CKD compared to those without renal disease [ 10 ], and that the morbidity and mortality in end-stage disease are influenced by timing and quality care before the start of dialysis [ 8 , 11 ]. A systematic review of the QOL scores of these patients as a parameter of treatment adequacy is recommended [ 1 ] and it is also suggested that interventions in pre-dialysis are useful and can influence the clinical evolution in the later stages of the disease [ 1 , 8 ].…”

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition of high prevalence in the general population mainly due to hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It is often associated with a high prevalence of complications and worse quality of life. The main objective of this study is to evaluate quality of life (QOL) using the generic instrument SF-36 in patients with CKD in pre-dialysis and identify the possible influence of the degree of renal function, hemoglobin level, age, gender, family income and level of education on QOL.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted and included 170 individuals (83 men) with a mean age of 57 ± 15 years who met the inclusion criteria and answered the SF-36. Laboratory tests and clinical and demographic data were obtained, and the glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the CKD-EPI formula.ResultsThe degree of renal function did not influence QOL. Women had lower scores in functional capacity, physical aspects, pain, and mental health. Patients younger than 47 years old showed better QOL in the functional capacity; however, their QOL was worse in terms of social aspects. Subjects with an income higher than 5.1 times the minimum wage had better QOL in the functional capacity, pain, social, physical and emotional roles, and mental health. Hemoglobin levels and education did not globally influence QOL.ConclusionGender and age influenced QOL, but family income was the most important factor affecting QOL (6 out of 8 domains investigated by SF-36) in this sample of 170 individuals with CKD in pre-dialysis. These findings suggest that many efforts should be made to reduce the effect of these factors on quality of life in patients with CKD and reinforce the need for longitudinal studies and intervention.
