Abstract Background Anemia is one of the common complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is no systematic investigation on the prevalence of anemia in CKD patients and its relationship with the quality of life in China. Methods The data for this study comes from baseline data from the Chinese Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study (C-STRIDE), which recruited predialysis CKD patients in China. The kidney disease quality of life summary (KDQOL-TM) was used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Use linear regression model to estimate the relationship between hemoglobin level and quality of life. Results A total of 2921 patients were included in this study. The adjusted prevalence of hemoglobin (Hb) less than 100 g/L was 10.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.9,11.4%), and showed an increased trend through reduced eGFR levels from 4.0% (95%CI:2.3,5.9%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 23.4% (95%CI:20.5,26.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. The prevalence of anti-anemia treatment was 34.0% (95%CI: 28.7,39.3%) and it is shown by reducing eGFR levels from 15.8% (95%CI:0,36.7%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 38.2% (95%CI: 30.7,45.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. All five dimensions of the KDQOL scores in patients with CKD decreased as hemoglobin declined. After multivariable adjustments,the degrees of decrease became somewhat blunted. For example, compared with hemoglobin of ≥130 g/L, regression coefficients in the hemoglobin of < 100 g/L were − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.045) for Symptoms and Problems(S), − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.044) for Effects of the Kidney Disease(E), − 0.207(95%CI: − 0.212,-0.203) for Burden of the Kidney Disease(B), − 0.112(95%CI: − 0.115,-0.109) for SF-12 Physical Functioning (PCS), − 0.295(95%CI: − 0.299, -0.292) for SF-12 Mental Functioning (MCS), respectively. Conclusions In our cross-sectional analysis of patients with CKD in China, prevalence of both anemia and anti-anemia treatment increased with decreased eGFR. In addition, anemia was associated with reduced HRQoL.

Symptom burden and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are important predictors of how a disease affects patients’ lives, especially for endemic health problems such as chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu). Our study describes symptom burden, HRQOL, and associated demographic and clinical variables in CKDu patients in the Girandurukotte area, Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional study included 120 CKDu patients attending the renal clinic in the endemic area. The instruments applied were the Kidney Disease Quality of Life—Short Form (KDQOL-SFTM) version 1.3 and CKD Symptom Index—Sri Lanka. Socio-demographic, disease-related, and anthropometric variables were also investigated. The mean age of patients was 61.87 (SD 11.31), while 69.2% were male. The mean glomerular filtration rate was 28.17 (SD 14.03) mL/min/1.73 min2, and 70.8% were anemic. Bone/joint pain was the most experienced symptom while the median number of symptoms reported by patients was 5 (IQR 3–7). The mean symptom burden, physical component summary, mental component summary, and kidney-disease-specific component scores were 12.71 (SD 10.45), 68.63 (SD 19.58), 78.53 (SD 18.78), and 81.57 (SD 5.86), respectively. Age was found to be a significant predictor of HRQOL, while hemoglobin level and being a farmer were significant predictors of symptom burden. Our data indicate that CKDu patients in all stages experience at least one symptom affecting all aspects of HRQOL.

Abstract Background Quality-of-life is an essential outcome for clinical care. Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes have been associated with poorer quality-of-life. The combined impact of having both diseases is less well understood. As diabetes is the most common cause of CKD, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of their joint impact. Methods This was a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of community-based Australians aged ≥25 years who participated in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study. Quality-of-life was measured by physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary sub-scores of the Short Form (36) Health Survey. Univariate and multivariate linear mixed effect regressions were performed. Results Of the 11 081 participants with quality-of-life measurements at baseline, 1112 had CKD, 1001 had diabetes and of these 271 had both. Of the 1112 with CKD 421 had Stage 1, 314 had Stage 2, 346 had Stage 3 and 31 had Stages 4/5. Adjusted linear mixed effect models showed baseline PCS was lower for those with both CKD and diabetes compared with either disease alone (P &lt; 0.001). Longitudinal analysis demonstrated a more rapid decline in PCS in those with both diseases. Conclusions The combination of CKD and diabetes has a powerful adverse impact on quality-of-life, and participants with both diseases had significantly poorer quality-of-life than those with one condition.

Patients with a chronic kidney disease encounter medical as well as psychological problems. They have to adjust to the daily changes in life as consequences of the required treatment. The need to take medication regularly, hemodialysis treatment, and reduce mobility because of limitation of physical abilities may cause distress and often impact on their self-esteem. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of self-esteem to quality of life on patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis. The study population is patients who join “Komunitas Hidup Ginjal Muda”, a community of young people with kidney disease in the social media (Facebook) which has 371 members. The incidental sampling technique was applied and resulted in 34 patients joined the study as study participants. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (version 1.3) were used to collect data. The results of product moment correlation analysis showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between self-esteem and quality of life among chronic kidney disease patients who undergo hemodialysis (r = .417; p = .014).

Purpose of the studyChronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is common among patients on maintenance haemodialysis (HD). We performed a study to explore the clinical features of patients with CKD-aP and evaluate the impact of CKD-aP on the quality of life of HD patients.Study designPatients who were receiving regular HD over 3 months were recruited. Quality of life was quantified by the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire. Pruritus was evaluated by the 5D-Itch Scale. Demographic characteristics and biochemical indicators were obtained from the medical record system. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the association between pruritus and targeting factors. The relationship between the scores on the 5D-Itch Scale and SF-12 was analysed using multiple linear regression, adjusted for other factors, to demonstrate the impact of CKD-aP on the quality of life of HD patients.ResultsIn total, 269 out of 301 (89.4%) patients accomplished all investigations. The prevalence of CKD-aP in our cohort was 40.9%. Age (B=0.339, p=0.042), treatment with haemoperfusion (B=1.853, p=0.018), and serum level of calcium (B=3.566, p=0.008) and phosphorus (B=1.543, p=0.002) were independently associated with pruritus. Score on the 5D-Itch Scale negatively impacted on physical component summary (B=−0.778, p<0.001) and mental component summary (B=−0.675, p<0.001).ConclusionsPruritus significantly aggravates the quality of life of HD patients. Irregularity in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus may partially explain the mechanism of CKD-aP. More effective treatment of CKD-MBD may help to prevent pruritus and improve patients’ mental and physical health conditions.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyzed the association of quality of life and compliance to drug treatment in chronic kidney disease patients. Methods The Short Form Health Survey was used to evaluate the quality of life of these patients, and the therapeutic complexity index was verified. The Morisky-Green test and the Brief Medication Questionnaire were applied to check compliance to drug therapy. Results A total of 197 patients were included. The Morisky-Green test and Brief Medication Questionnaire showed that most patients had low compliance to treatment (50.3% and 80.6%, respectively). Compliance was highly associated with gender (male) and slightly associated with complexity of therapy, mental health, and social aspects. Conclusion We observed a slight association between compliance to pharmacotherapy and quality of life and complexity of therapy, and a strong association with gender.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine the correlation between anemia and quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were obtained by using consecutive sampling. Patients’ quality of life was assessed with short-form 36 questionnaires (SF-36) while their Hb levels data were taken from the medical records. There were 60 samples, with a majority age range of 50-59 years old (33.33%) adn the dominant gender was males (68,3%). There were 13 non-anemia patients (22%), 27 mild anemia patients (45.0%), 15 moderate anemia patients (25.0%) and 5 severe anemia patients (8%). The highest quality of life score obtained was 90.70 with an average score 61.99. The Spearman correlation test showed a correlation between anemia and life quality (p=0.000). Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between anemia and quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing regular hemodialysis.Keywords: chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, anemia, quality of life Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan anemia dengan kualitas hidup pasien PGK yang sedang menjalani hemodialisis reguler.
