Modificările evolutive ale calităţii vieţii la pacienţi dializaţi

Abstract

Summary. We have determined the quality of life of 10 dialysis patients treated one month with phosphate binders and 12 patients from control group. 6 months later, these patients were asked about their quality of life using SF-36 questionnaire. Phosphate binders’ treatment improved pain syndrome and emotional role playing in dialyzed patients. Half-year prospective study demonstrated that the patients with the lower 20% result of the quality of life have 16 times more risk of -5 points decrease in overall quality of life score and 8 times higher chance of hospitalization.
