Health-related quality of life in dialysis patients with HCV infection
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 10/30/2009
|
Fabrizi F et al. – Whether the adverse influence of HCV on survival in dialysis population is related to the negative impact of HCV on HRQOL requires further research. Information on HRQOL indices in patients with HCV on maintenance dialysis is ... limited but the available evidence shows that HCV infection impairs HRQOL, especially in mental aspects, among patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
