Abstract
Measuring the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) is part of the general concept of quality of life. According to the
survey, quality of life in dialysis patients is significantly lower as compared to general population. The aim is to show the
importance and impact of the quality of life in dialysis patients on treatment outcomes. In October 2016, the MEDLINE
and EBSCO databases were searched for the 2005-2016 period. Kidney transplantation offers better HRQOL as compared
to dialysis, since there is no significant difference in HRQOL between patients on hemodialysis and those on peritoneal
dialysis. Good clinical practice in the treatment of dialysis patients is based on individual approach and on improving the
quality of life, for which collaboration of family doctors and consultant nephrologists is necessary. In daily practice, using
questionnaires on the quality of life of dialysis patients would increase the awareness of this very important segment of
care for dialysis patients because quality of life is an outcome measure of treatment in these patients.
