Functional status of CAPD patients and their mood state, dialysis dose, comorbidity and quality of life.
Whilst Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) has sustained the lives of thousands of patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), renal team members are increasingly confronted with concerns about quality of life. Uraemic symptoms in patients with ESRD are reported to be a source of functional and psychosocial problems, thus diminishing quality of life (1).
