Is HRQOL in dialysis associated with patient survival or graft function after kidney transplantation
2016
Background
Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is patient-reported, and an important treatment outcome for patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Whether HRQOL in dialysis can affect mortality or graft survival after renal transplantation (RTX) is not determined. The aims of the present study were to investigate whether pretransplant HRQOL is associated with post-RTX patient survival or graft function, and to assess whether improvement in HRQOL from dialysis to RTX is associated with patient survival.
