Abstract

Background: Very few studies have investiga ted the factors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who are not on dialysis.
Objective: Based on our search, no published studies have assessed the influence of ch ronic kidney disease on patients’ health and lifestyle in Penang, Malaysia. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of CKD on HRQoL scores among CKD patients who are not on dialysis.
Methods: A total of 526 CKD patients were included to fill out the SF-36 Malay/English validated questionnaire. A cross-sectional research design was used to assess the effect of CKD on HRQoL scores among CKD patients at Penang General Hospital in Penang, Malaysia, who are not on dialysis.
Results: The HRQoL scores among CKD patients reduced at advanced stages. The scores are significantly affected by the severity of CKD. Female gender was associated with lower HRQoL in all scales except the pain (P) scale. Monthly income was significantly associated with role-function (RF) score. Finally, older age was associated with poor HRQoL.
Conclusion: These observations highlight the strong impact of CKD on HRQoL and suggest designing an effective therapeutic intervention to improve patients’ health and life.
