The article examines the prevalence of depression in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) C5 receiving programmed hemodialysis (PGD) therapy and its impact on quality of life (QOL). In 2018, 86 patients (60 men and 26 women) with CKD C5 receiving PGD treatment were examined at the North Caucasus Nephrology Center LLC. The average age of patients was 55.5±13.9 years. The level of depression on the CES-D scale, the level of QOL-according to the KDQOL-SF ™ questionnaire. The population of CKD C5 patients receiving PGD therapy examined by the authors is characterized by a high prevalence of depression. Symptoms of depression negatively affect the QOL of patients with CKD C5 on PGD. The introduction of the methods used to assess QOL and depression in the protocol of management of patients with CKD C5 in dialysis centers will allow monitoring the indicators of QOL and symptoms of depression in patients for timely correction of their treatment.
