Abstract
THE AIM. To assess quality of life (QOL) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SFTM) questionnaire which includes specific for renal replacement therapy questions, and to compare QOL of KTR and hemodialysis (HD) patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS. 41 KTR and 142 HD patients were included in the study. The KDQOL-SF questionnaire was used for QOL evaluation.
RESULTS. Compared with HD patients, KTR scored higher on the majority of self-assessed physical health parameters (Physical Functioning, Pain, General Health, Physical Component Summary). Significant differences were observed for two of the five scales representing psychosocial component of QOL – Vitality and Social Functioning. Overall health rating was also higher in KTR. These patients were frustrated by the burden of kidney disease and its limiting impact on daily activities to a lesser degree. The frequency of patients’ complaints decreased. 39% of HD patients reported being bothered by itchy skin, among KTR – only 8%. Soreness in muscles bothered 44% of HD patients and 22% of KTR, numbness in hands or feet – 33% of HD patients and 13% of KTR. Limited ability to travel was bothersome for 75% of HD patients and 42% of KTR. 38% of KTR, and 29% of HD patients were employed.
CONCLUSION. As far as we know, the presented study is the first in our country to report about QOL in KTR where QOL was measured using a questionnaire containing items specific for renal replacement therapy. It was shown that KTR scored higher than HD patients on the majority of KDQOL-SF scales.
