“…Virzi considers dropping hemodialysis as a factor to improve the life quality in kidney transplantation patients (22); therefore, the lesser limitation of transplantation group in activities and playing role can be justified regarding dropping dependency to the hemodialysis apparatus, eliminating the diet and activity limitation and actively returning to the society (23)(24)(25). In other studies, hemodialysis patients received lower scores in the dimensions of physical health, which is consistent with the results of our study (16).…”

Background: Kidney chronic failure and its replaced remedies make the patient exposed to a wide range of physical, mental, economic, and social problems and as the life quality is affected by them, the life quality would be changed. Therefore, evaluation of the life quality by specific evaluation tools and based on demographic information help the patients' problems to be dealt with principally. In this study, we examine the life quality of hemodialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients in Ahvaz. Methods: This study is a cross sectional study to compare the life quality of patients who had kidney transplantation or underwent hemodialysis treatment. Sampling was conducted based on purposeful method and the life quality of 70 patients and 70 kidney transplant recipients referring to medical center and the people who had the criterion for entering the study were examined by a questionnaire of kidney diseases' life quality (KDQOL-SF36); then, after collecting data, they were compared by applying statistical tests including T-test and Chi-square test. Results: The mean total scores of the life quality did not show a statistically significant difference in two groups (P = 0.344), but the kidney transplantation group with a significant mean difference obtained better scores in the dimensions of general health (P = 0.002), physical health (P = 0.000), sleep (P = 0.028), limitation in playing a role (P = 0.000), and physical limitation (0.002) in comparison with hemodialysis group. The two groups did not show any significant difference in dimensions of disorder in social natural function and social relations, physical pain, limitation because of pain, vivacity, coping with disease, inner emotion related to disease, self-knowledge, emotional issues, and sexual activities. Conclusions: Although kidney transplantation could increase the patients' life quality in some dimensions, in the kidney transplantation group the people still encounter their previous problems and are in need of receiving more care to keep their transplant kidney. Based on results, therefore, educational -medical centers must predict and implement necessary arrangements to increase the life quality in both groups.

“…Many studies point out that compared with the general population, the quality of life is lower in patients with ESRD probably due to factors such as the limitations caused by the disease and requirements of dialysis treatment (7,8,9). In the process leading to ESRD, different and progressive metabolic, hormonal, and emotional irregularities encountered by the patients increase their burden (10).…”

“…9 Moreover, survival and quality of life when receiving dialysis can be severely diminished. [9][10] Our goal was to examine the direct costs of renal-sparing conservative measures v radical nephroureterectomy and subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD) or ESRD. Secondary analysis includes a discussion of survival and quality-of-life issues for both treatment cohorts.…”
