Abstract

Introduction. Treatment modalities for end-stage renal disease affect QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) of the patients. This study was conducted to assess the QOL of patients on HEMODIALYSIS and compare it with caregivers of these patients. Cause of ESRD and dialysis-related factors affecting QOL were also examined. Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on patient on maintenance HEMODIALYSIS for more than 3 months at 3 dialysis centers of Lahore. Fifty healthy individuals were included as controls from among the patients’ caregivers. The QOL index was measured using the World Health Organization QOL questionnaire, with higher scores corresponding to better QOL of patients.Results. Eighty-nine patients (71.2%) were men, 99 (79.2%) were married, 75 (60.0%) were older than 45 years, and 77 (61.6%) were on dialysis for more than 8 months. Patients on HEMODIALYSIS had a poorer QOL as compared to their caregivers in all domains except for domain 4 (environment). There was no difference in the QOL between the three dialysis centers of the study, except for domain 3 (social relationship) of the patients at Mayo Hospital (a public hospital), which was significantly better. Nondiabetic patients had a better QOL in domain 1 (physical health) as compared to diabetic patients. Duration of dialysis had a reverse correlation with the overall QOL.Conclusions. We found that QOL of HEMODIALYSIS patients was poor as compared to caregivers of the patients, especially that of diabetics. Also, duration of dialysis had a reverse correlation with QOL.
