Comparison of quality of life of patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and after transplantation.
Preliminary findings regarding quality of life of 458 renal patients treated by in-center hemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), or transplantation indicate more favorable adjustment for CAPD patients when compared with center hemodialysis patients. Patients with a successful transplant show the highest overall adjustment when compared with both groups of dialysis patients.
