Abstract
CKD-5
treatment is expensive and inaccessible for the majority of the Pakistani
population. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the QOL in
CKD-5 patients in Pakistan. The study was conducted on hemodialysis patients
and kidney transplant recipients at Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and
Research Centre (PKLI&RC). A comparative study was done to assess the HRQOL
between hemodialysis and renal transplant recipients. The Urdu version of the
WHOQOL-BREF was used. The sociodemographic characteristics were significantly
different between the two groups. KTRs were younger than HD patients and were
generally more educated. A larger number of people in the hemodialysis group as
compared to those in the KTR group were found to be unemployed. Patients in KTR
group had a much better perception of quality of life (77.5 vs 58) and health
(85 vs 63.5) as compared to the hemodialysis patients. KTRs had significantly
higher HRQOL scores than HD patients in all 4 domains with the greatest
difference seen in physical domain. KTRs also reported fewer ER visits and
hospitalizations. The QOL scores of KTRs were better than hemodialysis patients
in all four domains: Physical, psychological, social relationship,
environmental health. Hence, renal transplant services should be encouraged for
people with ESRD and should be made easily available to patients.
