This study aimed at assessing the quality of life (QL) of patients with chronic kidney failure under high efficiency hemodialysis. The Medical Outcomes Study 36 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF36) was applied, and the results were correlated with social-demographic profile, clinical and laboratorial data, Karnofsky’s Scale and Depression Cognitive Index (DCI). The sample consisted of 50 patients with an average age of 3 and mean treatment duration of 50.6 months. LQ changes were evidenced by correlations of SF36 scores with socialdemographic aspects, clinical data, Karnofsky’s Scale, and DCI. It was concluded that the individual use of SF36 may aid the assessment of therapeutic conduct.Downloads
