Quality of Life in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: Instruments and Application

  • Chapter
Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

For the past 25 years, dialysis has been advocated as an artificial replacement therapy for the functional loss of kidneys. Thousands of patients with chronic renal failure have been kept alive who otherwise would-have died. At present, in excess of 80 000 persons in the United States are on dialysis, a dramatic increase from the 2398 of 15 years ago [1]. This increase, in large measure, is due to the technological and treatment advances in renal replacement therapy. However, technologies such as automated dialysis systems [2, 3], bacteriologically safe catheters [4], and modified peritoneal dialysis procedures such as CAPD [5] or its automated nocturnal form, ‘prolonged dwell’ peritoneal dialysis [6], do more than sustain life. They enhance patients’ physical status and tolerance for home treatment [7] and free them from the constraints of extracorporeal hemodialysis [8], thus contributing to overall improvement in patients’ cognitive acuity and psychosocial functioning [9–12].
