Wcn26-3329 Quality of Life in Patients on Hemodialysis : Psychosocial and Clinical Variates

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important contributor to the global burden of disease. In low and middle income countries, the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease is often at an advanced stage. Most of the patients need dialysis, sometimes for an extended period of time as prospects of receiving a kidney is very low. This largely impacts the quality of life of patients in terms of physical as well as mental well being. This study aims to evaluate the quality of life in patients with CKD on dialysis, encompassing their physical and mental well being, and treatment adherence.
