Depression in Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Renal Disease: Similarities and Differences in Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Management
详细信息    查看全文
文摘
Depression is highly prevalent and is associated with poor quality of life and increased mortality among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, there are several important differences in the diagnosis, epidemiology, and management of depression between patients with non−dialysis-dependent CKD and ESRD. Understanding these differences may lead to a better understanding of depression in these 2 distinct populations. First, diagnosing depression using self-reported questionnaires may be less accurate in patients with ESRD compared with CKD. Second, although the prevalence of interview-based depression is approximately 20% in both groups, the risk factors for depression may vary. Third, potential mechanisms of depression might also differ in CKD versus ESRD. Finally, considerations regarding the type and dose of antidepressant medications vary between CKD and ESRD. Future studies should further examine the mechanisms of depression in both groups, and test interventions to prevent and treat depression in these populations.
