Quality of life and its predictors among patients with chronic kidney disease: A hospital-based cross sectional study.

Introduction: Quality of life (QoL) is increasingly being considered as an important measure of how disease affects patients' lives, especially for long-term diseases like chronic kidney disease (CKD). Even though there is no statistically significant association between stages of CKD and QoL, it is decreased in patients with early stages of the disease. Hence, this study aimed to assess QoL and its predictors among patients with CKD at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH).
