ABSTRACT
Depression is common in patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD) and has a negative effect on the quality of life, functional ability, and mortality of the patients, with a prevalence rate as high as 20-25%. Especially, the increasing tendency of mortality in ESRD patients is associated with recent or current depression, and the suicide rate is also increased by depression in patients with ESRD. Therefore, accurate detection and appropriate treatment of depression is very important in ESRD patients. Also, a deferential diagnosis is needed concerning uremic symptoms and depression in ESRD patients. However, there has been little data so far particularly in terms of randomized clinical trials. This review focused on the recent knowledge of depression in ESRD, and could encourage clinical study and trials in this field.
