“…These findings are consistent with the findings of many published studies that assess children [4, 13-15, 21, 22] and adult renal patients [5,23,24]. Fukuniski and Kudo demonstrated that 17 out of 26 children on CAPD (65.4%) had separation anxiety disorders [4].…”

“…They found that the most commonly occurring diagnoses were adjustment disorders (27%) and depression (20%). House reported that adult renal patients who were referred for a psychiatric opinion mostly had adjustment disorders [5]. In a study of depression in adult dialysis patients by Craven et al, 8.1% were found to have major depressive episodes by using DSM-III criteria [24].…”

Psychiatric assessment was done according to the DSM-IV TR criteria in 19 children with predialysis chronic renal failure (CRF) and 19 children with end-stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis. The prevalence rate of psychiatric disorders in all the studied patients was 52.6%. Adjustment disorders were the most common disorders (18.4%), followed by depression (10.3%) and neurocognitive disorders (7.7%). Anxiety and elimination disorders were reported in 5.1 and 2.6%, respectively. The disorders were more prevalent (P=0.05) in dialysis (68.4%) than in predialysis patients (36.8%). The presence of psychiatric disorders was not significantly correlated with sex, severity of anemia, duration of CRF or the efficiency or the duration of hemodialysis. In conclusion, psychiatric disorders were prevalent in our patients, especially in those on hemodialysis. Both adjustments with depression and depressive disorders were the most common psychiatric disorders. This array of disorders was more likely explained by the difficulties encountered in living with CRF rather than by demographic or physical factors.

“…Symptoms that were not useful in differentiating the two were lack of energy, insomnia and reduced libido, as these often occur in end-stage renal disease. House (1989) made a DSM-III (APA, 1980) diagnosis of MDD in 11/47 and adjustment disorder in 19/47 referrals of dialysis patients. He noted the relative frequency among referred patients of behavioural problems such as self-neglect, social withdrawal and non-compliance with treatment.…”

Consultation–liaison psychiatry in renal medicine provides a unique experience for the psychiatrist. There is the opportunity to work with a specialist multi-disciplinary team managing patients with chronic and complex physical problems in in-patient and out-patient settings. We aim to consider the common psychiatric problems experienced by renal patients and the particular problems that face the renal team and the liaising psychiatrist in relation to assessment and treatment.

“…She highlights the importance of non-adherence both for dialysis and transplant patients, with the potential consequences that may arise from this. This issue was discussed in our paper in relation to psychological adjustment and denial (De-Nour & Czaczkes, 1972), and the impact of adjustment disorder on physical outcome (House, 1989). The references given by the author give readers the opportunity to focus in more detail on the research relating to adherence and we are grateful to her for this.…”
