title: [Nursing and quality of life in CKD].
abstract: Quality of life is one of the main targets of modern medicine. This applies specifically to people suffering from chronic diseases, who are frequently hospitalized and receive continuing care for their irreversible condition. Among chronic diseases, end-stage renal disease is extremely interesting because it can be assessed transversely in different settings but also longitudinally over time, thus allowing adequate evaluation of quality of life.
