Abstract
The article discusses the psychological problems of relationships between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cognitive and emotional disturbances emerging in patients. Three groups of patients with chronic kidney disease at different stages were selected: the patients with the initial stage of the disease, the patients with the CKD itself, and the patients undergoing hemodialysis and on the waiting list for a kidney transplant and the patients with a transplanted kidney. A clinical- psychological study was conducted on 120 patients, male and female, age ranges from 28 to 60 years (the median age of 40.7 ± 13), with 40 patients in each group respectively. The authors investigated the hypothesis that there are significant differences in the internal picture of illness in the patients with the progression of chronic kidney disease, with regard to the disease and self-esteem.
