Aim: We conducted a multicenter study to determine the association between dialyzer membrane and end-stage renal disease patients’ quality of life.
Background: According to the 8th Report of Indonesian Renal Registry in 2015, there was an annual increase in the prevalence of Indonesia’s hemodialysis patients. However, quality of life in Indonesia’s hemodialysis patients remain unknown. Little is known on the impact of dialyzer membrane on patients’ quality of life.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter study at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Koja District Hospital, and Cengkareng District Hospital with a total of 389 patients. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital represented single-use dialyzer group. Koja and Cengkareng District Hospital represented reusable dialyzer group. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form 36 (KDQOLSF-36) questionnaires.
Results: Of all patients, 57.6% were male. The mean age of patients in this study was 49.3 years (SD 11.5). Single-use dialyzer group’s scores were significantly higher than reusable dialyzer group’s scores in the following main dimensions: kidney disease component summary or KDCS (74.2 vs 66.3; p <0.001), physical component summary or PCS (70.6 vs 55.2; p <0.001), mental component summary or MCS (76.1 vs 70.7; p = 0.023), and overall health rating (73.4 vs 64.9; p <0.001). In the linear regression model, reusable dialyzer was still a strong predictor in KDCS (coefficient β = -8.9; p <0.001), PCS (coefficient β = -17.8; p <0.001), and MCS (coefficient β = -7.6; p = 0.028).
Conclusions: There was a significant association between dialyzer membrane and hemodialysis patients’ quality of life in Jakarta.
