Clinical, Dialytic, and Laboratory Factors Associated With Poor Health-Related Quality of Life in Mexican Patients on Hemodialysis.
End-stage renal disease and its treatment have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients. ⋯ Poor health-related quality of life was common in Mexican patients undergoing hemodialysis. No strong correlation was found between the clinical, dialytic, or laboratory factors with health-related quality of life. Factors associated with poor health-related quality of life were: time on hemodialysis, use of a venous catheter, and serum albumin level < 4 g/dl.
