Evaluation of psychosocial status of CKD patients on renal replacement therapy and post renal transplant patients: An observational study.

It is observed that depressive symptoms are more common in CKD patients on dialysis whereas anxiety symptoms observed more in patients after renal transplant. The obtained results indicate that screening tests and monitoring of the emotional state of patients with CKD are necessary, regardless of the disease stage and treatment; this includes patients after kidney transplantation.
