Why Should I Take the KDQOL™-36?

The KDQOL™-36 survey lets you rate your quality of life with kidney disease. Hundreds of studies have found that how you view your physical and mental function is vital. People who had a poor view of their lives were more likely to need hospital care and less likely to live a long time.

You are the only one who can tell us how you feel about your life.

In fact, how you rate your quality of life is one of the best ways to know how you are doing. The Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) looks at people who are on dialysis around the world. The DOPPS found a strong link between how people feel, their quality of life, and how well they do on dialysis.

We ask you to take this survey so you can share things that may affect how well you feel while you receive dialysis treatment. At the end of the survey, we will provide a report that will tell you information about:

Over time, tracking your scores will help you learn how taking care of yourself affects how you feel.

Help us to help you feel your best with kidney failure.
