Introduction. Mortality rates for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis remain high. Published data regarding association between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and mortality among hemodialysis patients are inconsistent. Very few data are published on the change in HRQOL over time as a predictor of mortality. The aim of this study was to assess whether HRQOL and change of it over time could be considered an independent predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients. Material and methods. This prospective observational study enrolled 183 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. HRQOL was measured annually 2004–2008 using a generic Short Form 36 questionnaire. Physical component summary (PSC) and mental component summary (MSC) scores were calculated. The change of the patient’s HRQOL over time was calculated as a difference between SF-36 scores of the first and the last HRQOL measurements. Results. The median follow-up was 48 months (range, 1–72 months). Cutoff values for HRQOL predicting mortality for PSC score was ≥35 and for MSC score was ≥45. In the model adjusted for age, sex, dialysis months, creatinine, albumin and hemoglobin levels, mortality risk decreased by 0.96 (95% CI, 0.95–0.99) for 1-point increase in the baseline PSC score and decreased by 0.97 (95% CI, 0.95–0.98) for 1-point increase in the baseline MSC score. A 1-point decline in the PSC score (relative risk, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.008–1.221) and MSC score (relative risk, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.002–1.149) over the period of follow-up were associated with a significant additional increase in mortality. Conclusions. Both baseline HRQOL and decline of HRQOL are independent predictors of mortality in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract:Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorymotor sleep disorder which his very common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. It is called also as uremic RLS and it is affecting almost 30%of the HD population. Objective: To find out impact of Restless Leg Syndrome on fatigue and quality of life in patients of hemodialysis.Methadology: 131 hemodialysis patients (male, female) were approached from different hospitals in Lahore. Demographic data of the patients were collected. Questionnaires were included Fatigue Severity Scale, Restless Legs Syndrome Questionnaire (Rating Scale) and health quality questionnaire SF-12®. All responses entered in SPSS version 21.Results: In this survey SF12 was used to nd about health related quality of life in patients with RLS and undergoing hemodialysis and fatigue was observed in (n-75%) patients with exercise, (n34%) reported fatigue interference with work and (n-22%) reported fatigue was constant problem. Quality of life was overall poor as (n-72 %) patient's complaint that they cannot do any kind of work with full focus and 34 % reported their moderate activity level was limited.Conclusion: RLS was frequent in patients with hemodialysis. it had an association with fatigue and poor quality of life. As hemodialysis patients spend most of their time on bed RLS has negative impact on the sleep. Health Related Quality Of Life affects both physical and mental health.Keywords: Restless Leg Syndrome, Fatigue, low quality oflife, Hemodialysis patients

Introduction: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the last stage of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), where kidneys solely functions at 10 to 15 percent of their normal capacity. Efficacious treatment for ESRD is renal replacement therapies like dialysis and renal transplantation. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) is a neglected aspect of CKD care. Objective: To assess the acute complications and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted for 6 months, 90 patients undergoing hemodialysis were enrolled in the study. Acute complications were assessed during and post dialysis and Health Related Quality of Life were analysed using KDQoL-36TM questionnaire. Result: Among patients assessed; majority of the patients belonged to the age group 30 to 60 years. Acute complications were evaluated and oedema was found in maximum patients followed by muscle cramps, loss of appetite, itching etc. Based on KDQoL-36TM questionnaire, physical functions was mainly affected due to the disease. Oedema and muscle cramps had an impact on the patients physical and mental functioning whereas educational status and addictions showed significance in all domains of KDQOL-36TM. Conclusion: CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis has an intense effect on HRQoL. A better understanding on QOL issues will enable providers to deliver better patient centred care and enhance the overall well-being of the patients.
