This study was conducted to measure quality of life of patients with end stage renal disease ondifferent modalities of treatment.A total of 30 diagnosed cases of end stage renal disease (ESRD) attending BPKIHS were includedin the study. Group 1 included 10 patients on regular maintenance hemodialysis, group 2 included10 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and group 3 included 10 patientson regular conservative drugs. The inclusion criteria were all diagnosed cases of ESRD based on theguidelines given by K/DOQI, 2002. A detailed history relating to the disease condition as per thedesigned proforma was taken, which included demographic data and clinical characteristics of thepatients. For assessment of quality of life, KDQOL-SF questionnaire was used. Strata 8.0 softwareprogram was used for the analysis of collected data.Physical health was found to be the most severely affected domain of the KDQOL. The mean scorefor physical health was least in group 1 (33.36 ± 16.14). Mental health was better in group 2 (54.93± 9.92) than in group 1 (39.50 ± 14.27) ( “p” value 0.01). Variables like haemoglobin, hematocrit andadequacy of dialysis have positive correlation with all the four domains of the KDQOL. There wasa statistically signifi cant correlation of physical health with mental health (p value 0.001), physicalhealth with kidney disease issues (p value 0.001) and mental health with kidney disease issues (pvalue 0.007).Our study has shown that patients of ESRD have a poor quality of life despite being in some formof dialysis and the most affected domain of the KDQOL scale is physical health. Patients on CAPDhave better quality of life than patients on maintenance haemodialysis especially in terms of mentalhealth. Variables like haemoglobin, hematocrit and adequacy of dialysis have a positive correlationwith all the four domains of the KDQOL scale i.e. optimizing these variables improves the overallquality of life.Key Words: dialysis, end stage renal disease, quality of lifeCorrespondence:

Introduction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a result of structural and functional renal failure has a high progressivity leading to an end stage renal disease (ESRD), thus a therapy is needed to replace the renal function such as hemodialysis. Long term hemodialysis therapy affects many aspects of life and degrading the quality of life of the patient. Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Chasan Boesoirie Hospital, Ternate. Primary data, such as socio-demography were taken through history taking and medical records. Quality of life was assessed using Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form (KDQOL-SF)-36 TM which has been used to measure quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Results. From this study a sample of 77 patients was obtained, of which 41 were male (53.25%) and 36 were female (46.75%). Of the three quality of life components assessed, KDCS components were 78.65 ± 13.39; the MCS component 54.67 ± 7.53; and PCS components 42.47 ± 7.76. Conclusions. From the results of the study it was found that the highest KDQOL-36TM score was obtained for the kidney disease component (KDCS), then the mental health component (MCS), and the lowest score for the physical health component (PCS). Of all the variables hypothesized to affect the quality of life of kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialis, not a single variable was found to be significantly affected (P value> 0.05).Keywords: end-stage renal disease, hemodialysis, quality of life.
