QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH TERMINAL STAGE RENAL DISEASE RECEIVING PROGRAMMED HEMODIALYSIS
Abstract
Kidney pathology takes an important place among chronic non-infectious diseases due to its significant prevalence, a sharp decrease in the quality of life, high mortality and expensive replacement therapy methods in the terminal stage - dialysis and kidney transplantation. Quality of life, according to studies, is considered as important factor that can influence effectiveness of treatment and life expectancy of dialysis patients.
