Purpose: To examine the quality of life in pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.
Methods: The subjects were 91 patients who visited the nephrology outpatient department of a tertiary hospital located in Seoul. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics, and quality of life (QOL) were collected between July 19 and 23, 2010. The relationship between QOL and various Stages of dependence on glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) and factors related to QOL were investigated. Collected data was analyzed with the SPSS WIN 12.0 program.
Results: There was a significant difference in the quality of life of the subjects in different stages (F=18.12, p<.001). The Scheffe post hoc test confirmed that patients at higher stages had a lower level quality of life. In addition, GFRs, uremic symptoms, gender and age predicted value accounted for 38.5% of the variance on QOL (F=25.09, p<.001).
Conclusion: Strategies to develop a systematic management program for improving QOL of pre-dialysis patients are urgently needed.
