The dissertation entitled ?Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Dialysed Patients with Respect to Age? contains a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes chronic kidney disorder and the treatment of this disease. It mentions the causes, repercussions and complications of this disease. It also suggests the form of treatment as the method of replacing the function of the kidneys which includes haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and transplantation. I have attempted to elaborate their principle, history and current form, benefits, negative aspects and complications. The practical part describes the actual research. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) was ascertained in a group of patients undergoing haemodialysis at one dialysis centre. Questionnaire SF 36 was used which allows for a quantified assessment of the quality of life in eight domains. The results were statistically assessed and clearly depicted using tables and graphs. The quality of life was compared in the monitored group with the general population and also based on age and gender. The results found show a reduced quality of life of dialysed patients compared with the standard population. A difference was also found in the assessment of the quality of life in some age groups. No difference in results was proved with regard to gender.
