“…First, the average HD patient has a burden of 10 symptoms that lowers overall QoL on average by an amount between 14.6 points (based on mean severity of 3.1 per symptom) or 17.6 points (based on symptom prevalence) relative to a person with no symptoms. Second, studies [26,[61][62][63][64] suggest that decreased QoL is closely related to patient mortality. Consequently, systematic evaluation of the symptom experience of HD patients seems necessary in order to develop specific interventions aimed at reducing symptom frequency and severity.…”

Background: Dialysis patients experience multiple symptoms impairing their quality of life. A relationship seems to exist between the cultural context and the burden of symptoms. In this study, the prevalence and severity of 30 symptoms and their relationship with quality of life among hemodialysis patients in Switzerland is explored. Methods: A cross-sectional correlation design was used with a convenience sample of 119 patients from five dialysis units. Presence and severity of symptoms were assessed with the Dialysis Symptom Index and quality of life with the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. Multivariate linear regressions were used to examine the relationship between the prevalence and severity of symptoms, respectively, and quality of life. T-tests and Fisher's tests were used for the international comparisons. Results: On average, patients reported 10 symptoms and often rated these as "somewhat bothersome". The most frequent were: lack of energy, dry skin, trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, and muscle cramps. Average symptoms prevalence and severity levels were both observed to decrease patients' quality of life, items related to physical health and psychological state having the greatest impact. Prevalence and severity of psychological symptoms and prevalence of sex-related symptoms seem to be influenced by patients' cultural context. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that patients on chronic hemodialysis present several symptoms that affect their quality of life. Healthcare professionals should develop strategies to identify more properly these symptoms, especially sex-related and psychological symptoms.

“…(16) The average duration of hemodialysis concerning the participants was 40.7 (±52.3) months, ranging from two to 295. A study conducted at a Replacement Renal Therapy Unit located in the countryside of Sao Paulo state, with the purpose of characterizing the elderly with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis and assessing the hope levels through the Herth Hope Scale, identified that it ranged from one and 132 months.…”

Objective: To assess the frailty level of elderly people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 60 participants and carried out at a Renal Replacement Therapy Unit. The Edmonton Frail Scale, translated and validated to Portuguese, was used as the instrument of research. Results: Around 35.0% of the elderly showed no frailty, 26.7% were vulnerable, 20.0% showed mild frailty, 13.3% moderate frailty and 5.0% severe frailty. Conclusion: The frailty level of elderly people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis was high and the number of elderly people who are vulnerable to frailty was also high. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar o nível de fragilidade de idosos renais crônicos em tratamento hemodialítico. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal desenvolvido com 60 participantes em uma Unidade de Terapia Renal Substitutiva. Foi utilizada como instrumento de pesquisa a Edmonton Frail Scale, traduzida e validada para a língua portuguesa. Resultados: Cerca de 35,0% dos idosos não apresentou fragilidade, 26,7% estava vulnerável, 20,0% apresentou fragilidade leve, 13,3% fragilidade moderada e 5,0% fragilidade severa. Conclusão: O nível de fragilidade de idosos renais crônicos em tratamento hemodialítico foi elevado assim como foi alto o nível de idosos vulneráveis à fragilidade.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between the presence of depressive symptoms and physical activity level (PAL) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Cross-sectional study comprising 101 patients on HD, mean age 47.4±12.5 years. Sociodemographic data, economic, clinical, assessment of depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Scale - BDI), PAL (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ), guidance for performing physical activity (PA) and time of HD. The prevalence of sedentary and depressive symptoms was 79.2% and 39.6%, respectively. Depressive symptoms were observed in 47.5% of sedentary patients (χ2=10.029, p=0.002), the ratio of prevalence of these symptoms five times higher in this group. 68.3% of patients on HD received no guidance for PA. Under 49 months of hemodialysis treatment, 63.8% of sedentary (χ2=3.011, p=0.083) and 57.5% of patients with depressive symptoms (χ2=0.100, p=0.752) already had these features. Although little is known about the relationship between depression and PA among patients undergoing HD, this study found that depressive symptoms were more prevalent among inactive. The results of this study demonstrate that patients undergoing HD have low PAL, relative presence of depressive symptoms and high lack of guidance on PA.
