Abstract
Aim. To compare the quality of life of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients after kidney transplantation and hemodialysis patients. Material and methods. A prospective controlled trial comprised 110 CKD patients, divided into two groups. The study group included 51 (46.4%) kidney transplant recipients and 59 (53.6%) hemodialysis patients represented a control group. Assessment of health related quality of life was done using the KDQOL-SF™ questionnaire. Results. Kidney transplant recipients reported significantly greater satisfaction with their physical and emotional health than hemodialysis patients. Kidney transplant recipients experienced fewer somatic symptoms of CKD and everyday problems. It is very important that unlike hemodialysis patients transplant recipients were physically capable of working. There were no differences between groups regarding sleep quality, sexual activity, communication with others and time spent with family and friends. Conclusion. Patients receiving long-term hemodialysis therapy experience a marked decrease in physical and mental components of QOL, whereas kidney transplantation results in better QOL for these parameters.
