SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation on the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and analyze the influencing factors. METHODS: A total of 162 ESRD patients who received maintenance hemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation from February 2017 to March 2018 in our hospital were divided into a hemodialysis group, a peritoneal dialysis group, and a renal transplantation group. The baseline clinical data, serum indices, as well as environmental factors such as education level, marital status, work, residential pattern, household income, and expenditure were recorded. The quality of life was assessed using the short-form 36-item (SF-36) scale reflecting the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). One-way analysis of variance and logistic stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed to analyze the factors influencing the quality of life. RESULTS: The renal transplantation group had the highest average scores for all dimensions of the SF-36 scale. The PCS and MCS scores of this group were higher than those of the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis groups. The peritoneal dialysis group had higher scores for physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, mental health, PCS, and MCS than those of the hemodialysis group. Age, HGB, GLU, and ALP were the main factors influencing PCS. Age, education level, residential pattern, medication expenditure, and monthly per capita income mainly affected MCS. CONCLUSION: In terms of quality of life, renal transplantation is superior to peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.

Abstract The number of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are increasing worldwide. Renal transplantation is now the treatment of choice for all ESRD patients, including those that are aged 65 or over. Namely, there is a growing evidence that elderly patients, in the absence of contraindications, have better outcomes after renal transplantation than alternative forms of RRT. Although survival, quality of life and economic advantages have been shown after transplantation, renal transplantation is still infrequently offered to older patients. Hereby, we present a case of an old woman who was transplanted in 1994 when “senior” program was still not established and when kidney transplantation at this age was rarity in many countries. She lived 16 years and 8 months with a well-functioning graft and died at the age of 89.

Abstract Purpose. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) face various physical and mental limitations resulting from different renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities. Renal transplantation (Tx) is considered as the treatment that impacts most on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aimed to analyze and compare the HRQOL and depression levels of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and Tx.Methods. A single-center cross-sectional sample of 112 HD patients, 68 PD patients and 97 Tx patients participated in our questionnaire survey. The HRQOL and depression levels were assessed through the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5), respectively. The multiple linear regression model was performed to examine the factors associated with each of the HRQOL scale scores. Results. The SF-36 HRQOL of Tx patients differed significantly from that in HD and PD groups in all eight dimensions and two components (all P<0.001). More than 45% of patients in each group were facing depressive symptoms. HD patients (63.4%) and PD (67.6%) patients were more depressive compared with Tx patients (45.4%, P =0.006). Depression in ESRD patients contributed to a worse quality of life (P<0.001). Patients ranging in age from 31 to 50, having full-time jobs, receiving Tx and without depression were associated with better HRQOL in the domain of Physical Component Scores (PCS). Patients with unemployment, dismissal or being looking for a job, receiving Tx and without depression were associated with better HRQOL in the domain of Mental Component Scores (MCS).Conclusions. Tx patients had better HRQOL and less depressive symptoms than HD and PD patients. Depression was related to an impaired HRQOL, which was common in ESRD patients. The severity of depression in ESRD patients and the effectiveness of Tx on HRQOL improvement need to be underscored.

Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for pediatric patients who have end-stage renal disease. A successful transplant improves intellectual and behavioral development, quality of life, and survival, with the survival at 10 years being as high as 83% (Kim et al., 1991). We can optimize the chance of success by understanding the pathophysiology involved and applying this knowledge to guide our management of perioperative fluid balance, electrolyte anomalies, anemia, blood pressure control, and comorbidities. Also critical is an appreciation of the effects and consequences of the various immunosuppressive agents that are used. Close communication is required between the pediatrician, surgeon, and anesthesiologist.

Objective To assess health-related quality of life (QL) in a group of Dutch predialysis end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients prior to the initiation of dialysis, and to compare QL between patients with different intended initial dialysis treatments. Design In a prospective cohort study, demographic, clinical, and QL data were obtained from Dutch adult patients who were consecutively enrolled from 27 different centers 0 – 4 weeks prior to the beginning of their chronic dialysis treatment. Patients Of the 301 patients who completed the QL questionnaires (of a possible 337 enrolled patients), 152 intended to start with hemodialysis (pre-HD) and 149 patients with peritoneal dialysis (pre-PD). Main Outcome Measure Perceived QL of pre-HD and pre-PD patients. Quality of life was assessed with two generic health assessment instruments: the SF-36 and the EuroQol. Results After correction for group differences, pre-HD patients scored consistently, but not significantly, lower for all separate dimensions of the SF-36 and the overall health score of the EuroQol compared to pre-PD patients. However, analyzing the dimensions of the SF-36 together, adjusted for case-mix, pre-HD patients scored significantly lower than pre-PD patients. Mean difference was 6.5 points ( p = 0.04). Conclusion Multivariate adjustment for known case-mix differences at the start of dialysis therapy was not sufficient to adjust for all patient selection effects on QL. Consequently, published QL comparisons between HD and PD in nonrandomized cohort studies should be interpreted with caution. Assessment of QL just before start of dialysis therapy and subsequent adjustment for baseline values may be the only valid alternative for randomized studies.

Introduction: ESRD adalah diagnosis akhir yang membutuhkan terapi pengganti ginjal seumur hidup seperti hemodialisa, peritoneal dialysis (PD) dan transplantasi ginjal. Populasi di dunia dan prevalensi penyakit ginjal stadium akhir terus meningkat, pasien semakin dihadapkan dengan keputusan untuk memulai terapi pengganti ginjal. Penelitian dan literature review yang menilai dampak perawatan terapi PD pada pasien ESRD masih terbatas. Tujuan dari literature review ini untuk menganalisis terapi CAPD pada pasien ESRD. Pencarian terbatas pada database elektronik seperti Pubmed, Proquest, dan Google Scholar, dengan kata kunci “ESRD”,”CAPD”,“Peritoneal Dialysis”,“Quality of Life” disusun berdasarkan MeSH Database dari NCBI. Methods: Strategi review artikel menggunakan PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses) dan dianalisa menggunakan konten analisis. Studi yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2009-2019, artikel penelitian dengan bahasa inggris, dipertimbangkan sebagai kriteria inklusi dalam tinjauan ini. Results: Didapatkan 25 artikel; 15 kuantitatif, 7 kualitatif, 2 case report dan 1 mixed methods. Discussion: Domain fisik; PD memberikan kelebihan pada peran-fisik, vitalitas, energik, dan bebas nyeri. Domain psikologis; PD menimbulkan depresi dan kecemasan yang lebih rendah daripada HD, bahkan 1 studi menyebutkan HD dapat menyebabkan depresi berat. Hubungan sosial; PD memberikan kemandirian pada gaya hidup, efikasi diri, kebebasan beraktivitas, fleksibilitas, dan mempertahankan kehidupan normal. Hubungan terkait lingkungan; pasien dengan PD lebih mungkin untuk melanjutkan pekerjaan mereka sehingga mereka secara finansial lebih baik dan lebih bebas untuk bepergian daripada HD, penghasilan terus dapat secara signifikan berkontribusi pada kesejahteraan pasien CAPD. Conclusion: PD terbukti memberikan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Dengan demikian, penting untuk mengembangkan terapi PD pada pasien ESRD yang membutuhkan dialisis jangka panjang, bahkan seumur hidup.

Purpose: To investigate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent open or robot-assisted renal transplantation (ORT and RART). Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ORT and RART at Bakirkoy Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital between June 2016 and December 2018 constituted the target population of this study. The patient group was divided into two groups as per the surgical technique (i.e., open vs. robot-assisted). Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative data of all patients were collected prospectively. The QoL of the patients was assessed preoperatively and on the postoperative 30th day. Results: 67 patients who underwent ORT and 60 patients who underwent RART were included. The mean patient age and BMI were calculated as 40,9 ± 11,6 years and 24,4 ± 2,9 kg/m2, respectively. While mean total ischemia time was shorter in the ‘open’ group, incision length, duration of surgical drainage and hospital stay were shorter in the ‘robot-assisted’ group. The physical component scores of the QoL questionnaire revealed that postoperative impairment of quality of life was more significant in the ORT than the RART. Conclusion: Patients who underwent RART have a higher QoL than the patients who were treated with ORT as per their self-reported QoL scores in the early postoperative period. Keywords: End-stage renal disease; Open renal transplantation; Robot-assisted renal transplantation; Quality of life

Abstract Background and Aims Depressive illness is not only common in patients of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) but also an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The relation between depressive illness, Quality of Life and caregiver burden in this vulnerable group is complex. We attempted to study these 3 important psychosocial domains in patients of ESRD on hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis as well as those ESRD patients who were not on any dialysis yet Method A cross sectional analytical comparative controlled design was done to compare 3 domains of depressive burden, quality of life and caregiver burden in 3 group of patients – ESRD patients on hemodialysis, ESRD patients on peritoneal dialysis and ESRD patients not on any dialysis Statistical methods used - χ2 statistic or Fisher‘s exact test for categorical variables and comparison of group means. ANOVA was used for continuous variables where more than 3 groups were compared. Correlational analysis done using Spearman’s correlation coefficient . A p-value of &lt;0.05 was considered significant. SPSS 20.0 was used Results Depressive symptoms were present significantly across all 3 groups of ESRD. Depressive disorder was significantly higher in the Hemodialysis group (HD) as compared to peritoneal dialysis (PD) group( p=0.038). Mean QOL was significantly higher for PD. Caregiver burden was higher in the HD group. The study brought out the huge burden of depressive symptoms and depressive illness in patients on ESRD across all 3 group of patients and the significantly higher burden of depressive illness and lower QoL and higher caregiver burden in the hemodialysis group. This assumes significance because the majority of our ESRD patients are on HD Conclusion This depressive burden is the hidden factor behind poor Quality of Life as well as poor overall satisfaction as well as treatment outcome in our patients of ESRD whether or not on dialysis. Apart from the inherent factors related to the illness or the type of dialysis, sociodemographic factors seem to play a role in QoL and CG burden in the hemodialyis group. To address this hidden depressive burden comprehensively, we recommend closer cooperation between nephrologist, psychiatrist and psychosocial workers to improve the overall treatment outcome in ESRD patients.
