Objective: Determine prevalence of the depression in a population of patients chronic hemodialysis. Look for the associated sociodemographic, clinical and biological factors.
Method: It was a transverse study. She concerned the at least 18-years-old patients, followed in the center of Hemodialysis of the CHU at the rate of 2 - 3 sessions a week. The patients having agreed, were in dialysis at least for 3 months and benefited from an individual interview through an index card of investigation based of Hamilton's scale French version in 17 items.
Results: On a sample of 107 patients, the average age was 43, 24 ± 14 years old with extremes between 20 and 75 years. The average duration in dialysis was of ±40, 37 36, 5 months with extremes between 4 and 144 months. Prevalence of the depression was 88 %. The depression was light in 78, 5 %, moderated in 6,5% and severe in 3 %. The anemia was present at 94 patient's among whom 76 had a light depression.

Background: Insulin resistance often occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) owing to mineral and bone metabolism disorders. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 and soluble klotho (s-KL) play crucial roles in linking CKD with mineral and bone metabolism.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and FGF-23 and s-KL in patients with non-diabetic pre-dialysis patients with CKD.
