Abstract

Background: Although several studies have examined the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the factors associated with kidney-related symptoms have not been fully explored.

Methods: This nationwide multicenter cohort study enrolled 2248 patients. To identify the factors associated with each item or the three KDQOL domains, such as burden of kidney disease, symptoms/problems of kidney disease, and impact of kidney disease on daily life, multiple regression analysis was performed using baseline data.

Results: The study population had a mean age of 69.1 ± 12.6 years, comprised 64.7% men, and had mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 23.2 ± 10.4 mL/min/1.73 m². Mean serum creatinine levels were 1.4 ± 0.2, 2.3 ± 0.5, and 4.5 ± 1.5 mg/dL for G3b, G4, and G5, respectively. The mean scores in the three KDQOL domains among CKD stages showed significantly decreasing trends. Of all the 11 symptoms assessed, 6 had scores that significantly decreased as the CKD stage progressed and 9 had scores that significantly decreased as the age category group increased. Multiple regression analysis revealed eGFR as a significantly associated factor for 5 of 11 symptoms. Age, body mass index, and comorbidities were also detected as significant factors for some symptoms.

Conclusions: In addition to eGFR, several factors were associated with symptoms in patients with CKD. Nephrologists need to recognize renal dysfunction-specific symptoms and explore other plausible causes of nonspecific symptoms.

期刊介绍： Clinical and Experimental Nephrology is a peer-reviewed monthly journal, officially published by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) to provide an international forum for the discussion of research and issues relating to the study of nephrology. Out of respect for the founders of the JSN, the title of this journal uses the term “nephrology,” a word created and brought into use with the establishment of the JSN (Japanese Journal of Nephrology, Vol. 2, No. 1, 1960). The journal publishes articles on all aspects of nephrology, including basic, experimental, and clinical research, so as to share the latest research findings and ideas not only with members of the JSN, but with all researchers who wish to contribute to a better understanding of recent advances in nephrology. The journal is unique in that it introduces to an international readership original reports from Japan and also the clinical standards discussed and agreed by JSN.
