TI  - Association between depression and hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney 
      disease.
PG  - 499-503
AB  - Depression is the most common and serious psychiatric disorder that affects 
      patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, and, has a 
      significant impact on their quality of life. The aim of this study was to 
      investigate and compare prevalence rates of depression among hemodialyzed 
      patients, and non-dialyzed patients with a glomerular filtration rate<30 
      ml/min/1.73m(2) receiving conservative treatment or following kidney 
      transplantation. A total of 50 hemodialyzed and 50 non-dialyzed patients with 
      stage 4/5 of CKD was assessed using the following questionnaires: Hamilton 
      Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), The 
      Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and 
      The Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R). The use of steroids and 
      immunosuppressant drugs was also investigated. Symptoms of depression and anxiety 
      were present in both groups, however the proportion of persons with mild or 
      severe depression was higher among dialyzed patients. The AIS, LOT-R and SWLS 
      scores were very similar in both the groups. The patients using steroids and/or 
      immunosuppressant drugs were more prone to develop mild or severe depression 
      according to the HAM-D scores. The results indicated a high prevalence of 
      depression and anxiety among patients with CKD. Furthermore, the fraction of 
      patients with depression is greater among hemodialyzed patients. This indicates 
      the importance of monitoring the mental state of the patients as well as the 
      necessity of providing timely psychological care for patients with CKD.
