Depression, anxiety and health ‐related quality of life amongst patients who are starting dialysis treatment

ConclusionThe initiation of RRT has a strong impact on HRQL in comparison with a reference population and with other stages of CKD. The early detection of an altered psychological state is important, as this condition should be treated from the first stages of the disease, as it can significantly affect the subsequent development of RRT and the patient's quality of life.
