[Quality of life assessment in patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis].

Assessment of the quality of life (QoL) of patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing replacement therapy is very important. The aim of our study was to assess the QoL of patients on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). To determine the state of health of the patients as well as psychological aspects we used two international questionnaires: the Health-Related Short Form (SF-36) and the Psychological General Well-being Index (PGWBI).
