Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a progressive loss of function occurring over several months to years and is characterized by the gradual replacement of normal kidney architecture with parenchymal fibrosis. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is defined as irreversible decline in a person's own kidney function, which is severe enough to be fatal in the absence of dialysis or transplantation. Since hemodialytic patients with greater urine output have a greater ability to excrete electrolytes, acids, and fluid compared to patients low urine output, they are likely to have less body accumulation of these elements. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a critically important outcome for patients with ESRD.
