Abstract

WHO defines quality of life (QL) as "an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns". Health related QL is an evaluation of QL and its relationship with health. The aim. To analyse quality of life components in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), stage V. For this 68 CKD (stage V) patients have been under examination. By assessing physical activity, performance, clinical and laboratory data, an objective assessment of QL have been made. The patient's subjective perception of his illness and social adaptation makes it possible to determine with great accuracy the measures necessary for the medical and social rehabilitation of patients on program and peritoneal dialysis. Conclusion. In the terminal stage of CKD, the patients’ QL and its individual components deteriorate significantly. According to general health, physical, mental well-being, social functioning, the lowest assessment of QL was found in patients of the hemodialysis group.

Key words: chronic kidney disease; quality of life; general health; physical; mental well-being; social functioning.
