Determinants of quality of life in advanced kidney disease: time to screen?

Abstract: The incidence of older patients with end stage renal disease is on the increase. This group of patients have multiple comorbidities and a high symptom burden. Dialysis can be life sustaining for such patients. But it is often at the expense of quality of life, which starts to decline early in the pathway of chronic kidney disease. Quality of life is also important to patients and is a major determinant in decisions regarding renal replacement. As a result, validated patient-reported outcome measures are increa… Show more

“…The consequences of malnutrition include reduced quality of life, sleep disorder, depression, erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness, increased susceptibility to infections and aggravation of heart failure.
