Renal functional deterioration is associated with physical and mental burdens for kidney transplant (KT) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, the change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) over time in KT patients compared to that of native CKD patients has not been evaluated. We addressed this issue using KT patients registered in the KNOW-KT cohort study and patients at CKD stage 1–3 registered in the KNOW-CKD cohort study. HRQOL scores were assessed using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form at baseline, 2-, and 4-years follow-up in 842 KT patients and at baseline and 5-year follow-up in 1,355 CKD patients. SF-36 scores declined at the 4-year follow-up, whereas CKD-targeted scores showed no change in the KT group. In contrast, CKD-targeted scores as well as SF-36 scores were decreased at the 5-year follow-up in CKD patients. When prognostic factors were analyzed for longitudinal HRQOL data over time, renal functions, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hemoglobin level, marital status, income, employment, and health care were significant prognostic factors. Furthermore, KT was an independent prognostic factor for better HRQOL. These results highlight that KT can offer a better HRQOL than that of CKD patients, even when renal function is similar.

The chronic kidney disease (CKD) co-exist with hypertension in approximately 80 to 85 per cent of patients. The CKD stages can be defined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and the deterioration of kidney function or reduction in GFR has observed in those with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). We had conducted a prospective study to analyse the impact of the angiotensin system-related agents on the quality of life of CKD patients with hypertension. The SF-36 questionnaire, direct patients interview and medical records were the sources for retrieval of information. We observed that male patients were more prone to CKD than female. Hypertension was the primary (77.8%) aetiology behind the incidence of CKD. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) was responsible for very low (58%) and low (44%) health disabilities to the patients. In contrast, the angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) even though it has a limited adverse effect, the patients complained of medium (9%) and high disabilities than the ACEIs. The discontinuation of the antihypertensive drugs by the CKD patients was almost negligible (3.4%). The study concludes that a balanced diet and reasonable blood pressure control is essential to prevent the progression of CKD and to improve the quality of life.

Abstract Background: Chronic kidney disease is a financial challenge for global public health due to rising costs, a poorer quality of life. Globally, there has been an increase in the number of diabetic, hypertensive and obese patients, with a tendency to rise as life expectancy increases. Objective: To assess the quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis at a satellite clinic in Recife, Northeast Brazil, and comparing low-income patients funded by the national healthcare system with middle- and higher-income patients funded by private health insurance. Methods: The Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) was applied, together with a complementary interview with socio-demographic data for all patients at a conventional hemodialysis clinic. All patients were submitted to the same hemodialysis protocol, 4 hours and 10 minutes, high flow biocompatible membranes with high mass transfer coefficient and an adequacy of Kt/V ≥1.2. Results: The poorest quality of life scores with the SF-36 were related to physical functioning and pain. The best scores were attributed to mental health, social functioning, general health and vitality with no differences between the household incomes. There was a positive association between education, role-emotional and physical functioning. Longer hemodialysis treatment times demonstrated a positive association with aspects of general health. Patients who had undergone hemodialysis between one and five years presented better quality of life scores with the SF-36. Conclusions: Hemodialysis treatment negatively influences the quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease. Education seems to help patients to better understand and accept treatment, by raising the scores of the physical functioning and role-physical. The first year of hemodialysis seems to exert a more negative influence on the quality of life. Among all patients, pain and physical aspects seem to be the critical points, regardless of social class or income.

ABSTRAK Hipertensi merupakan penyebab gangguan ginjal kronik melalui suatu proses yang mengakibatkan hilangnya sejumlah besar nefron fungsional yang progresif dan irreversible. The Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) of the national kidney foundation (NKF) merekomendasikan target tekanan darah pada pasien gangguan ginjal kronik < 140/90 mmHg sehingga dapat mengurangi risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian obat antihipertensi terhadap kualitas hidup pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisis di RSUP DR.Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional observational konkuren dengan mengkaji data rekam medis dan status harian pasien selama periode Desember 2015-Febuari 2016 dan hasil pengisian kuisioner Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOLTM-36). Subyek penelitian merupakan pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisis dan mendapatkan terapi obat antihipertensi (OAH), laki-laki dan perempuan, usia lebih dari 18 tahun. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna penurunan tekanan darah sistolik(p=0,011) dan diastolik (p=0,023) untuk setiap terapi OAH, kombinasi 2 OAH memberikan efek penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik yang paling baik dan berbeda bermakna (p=0,001). Pengobatan tunggal dan kombinasi dua obat antihipertensi memberikan efek penurunan tekanan darah yang paling baik.Setiap jenis terapi obat antihipertensi tidak memberikan perbedaan bermakna terhadap kualitas hidup kecuali domain aspek efek penyakit (p=0,041). Kata kunci : Hipertensi, gagal ginjal kronik, hemodialisis, antihipertensi, KDQOL, kualitas hidup. 40 ABSTRACT Background: Hypertension is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through a process that resulted in loss of a large number of functional nephron on progressive and irreversible. The Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) of The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) recommends a target blood pressure values of < 130/80 mmHg in CKD patients, it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective : The purpose of this study is to understand the antihypertension medication effects to the quality of life of hemodialysis patients in RSUP DR.Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Methods : The design of study is cross sectional observational with concurrent medical record with patients daily status analyses during December 2015 - February 2016 with questionnaire by the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOL-36. Results : The analysis result shows significant differences in the reduction of systolic (p=0, 011) and diastolic (p=0, 023) blood pressure in each group of antihypertension therapy. Furthermore, 2 combination of antihypertension therapy gives the most significant different in reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=0, 001). Conclusions : Second combination of antihypertension therapy can be reduce of blood pressure better than other therapy. Second combinations of antihypertension therapy is best for decrease of blood pressure and creatinin serum. In all domain of quality of lifes, symptom/problems have a highest score, and burden of kidney disease have a lowest score of quality of life. Keywords : chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, antihypertension, KDQOL, quality of life.

Relevance. Chronic diseases have a long duration and a rather slow progression, and people who have such diseases want not only to live longer but also to live better. Therefore, quality of life (QOL) is one of the most important health issues for the treatment of chronic diseases. Objective: to determine the features of QOL in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage II-IV. Materials and methods. In 171 patients with CKD of II-IV centuries, in addition to general clinical and laboratory studies, QOL was studied using a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of SF-36. The questionnaire contains 36 questions of the main module, supplemented by multi-point scales aimed specifically at patients with CKD. The answers were evaluated in points - from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the patient's QOL. The total components were also calculated: physical total component, mental total component, total points. The obtained research data were subjected to statistical processing, which included parametric (t-test for samples with unrelated variants) and non-parametric (Mann-Whitney method) methods, correlation analysis was used. Results. Most QOL indicators worsen significantly with the progression of CKD. The indicators of total QOL, as well as the indicator "the impact of the disease on everyday life" are most significantly reduced. Age correlates as much as possible with most indicators of QOL in patients with CKD. With age, the QOL of patients decreases, but the manifestations of the disease increase and the mental and physical condition of patients deteriorate. QOL parameters are probably directly and moderately correlated with hemoglobin levels. Most QOL parameters are significantly moderately correlated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. It is assumed that the correction of anemia and blood pressure control, in addition to a positive effect on disease progression and the occurrence and development of complications, will also improve QOL. There were no significant differences in the assessment of QOL in men and women. Conclusions. QOL indicators decrease with the progression of CKD. Age, hemoglobin level, blood pressure affect QOL.

Testosterone deficiency (TD) is common and impairs quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there are no studies about whether testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can improve QoL in patients with CKD. Therefore, we investigated the effect of TRT on the QoL of patients with CKD and confirmed the safety of TRT. Twenty-five male patients with stages III–IV CKD whose serum testosterone levels were <350 ng/dl (TD) were enrolled and treated with testosterone gel for 3 months (group II). Age-matched controls with stages III–IV CKD and TD (group I) were recommended to exercise for the same period. Before and after the treatment, the BMI and handgrip strength were checked, serological tests were performed, and questionnaires were administered in both groups. Compared to baseline, there was no significant difference in serum testosterone levels, scores of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Aging Males’ Symptoms Scale (AMS), and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and grip strength in group I after 3 months. In group II, a significant increase in testosterone, hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (Hct) was observed, and grip strength significantly increased after TRT. Significant improvement in scores of SF-36, AMS, and IPSS was also confirmed after TRT in group II. There was a significant difference in testosterone, Hb, Hct, grip strength, and scores of SF-36, AMS, and IPSS between the two groups after 3 months. The patients in group II showed positive results and continued with TRT. Therefore, we conclude that TRT safely improves the QoL and TD symptoms in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD.
