Abstract
Given the rising prevalence of end-stage renal disease and subsequent progressive increase of patients starting renal replacement therapy, a great attention is given by scientific community to the assessment of life perception and Quality of Life (QoL) in dialysis patients. A broad literature review was conducted on PubMed and PsyInfo databases for articles published between January 2000 and July 2016 in order to understand the biological and psychosocial variables potentially affecting the QoL of the patients under artificial substitution of kidney function.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
