CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Chronic kidney disease affects many Filipinos each year and is one of the top ten
causes of death among Filipinos wherein 7, 000 die annually due to kidney malfunction.
Because of the increasing number of Filipinos with kidney disease, it is now considered
among the top seven health problems in the country. Worldwide, there is also an alarming
level of kidney disease with more than 500 million persons suffering from some form of
kidney damage. In 2006, the Philippine Renal Disease Registry showed that the Province
of Iloilo had the most number of patients in Region 6 with end-stage renal disease with
agents, since their discovery nearly two decades ago have significantly improved care of
patients with renal anemia. However, although several reports have demonstrated the
benefits of anemia correction in patients with chronic kidney disease, little reports have
been published with regards to the relationship of erythropoiesis stimulating agents to the
quality of life among Filipinos. Thus this study aims to asses the quality of life in chronic
hemodialysis patients with anemia (hemoglobin level of 13. 5 g/ dL in adult males and
<12.0 g/dL in adult females), using the SF-36 questionnaire and the Karnofsky
performance scale, and to correlate the results with clinical and laboratory parameters
mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. 1
Since quality of life is a very important aspect of health, there are a number of
survey tools which have been developed to investigate the components of quality of life.
Our study utilized the Karnofsky scale and the Medical Outcomes study Short-Form
The disturbed metabolism caused by the chronic kidney failure has negative
effects in the body’s organs and systems. One of the systems being affected is the
erythropoietic system, which in turn, gives rise to anemia. Anemia is a state of deficient
mass of red blood cells and hemoglobin resulting in insufficient oxygen delivery to the
body’s tissues ad organs. The National Kidney Foundation’s clinical practice guidelines
define anemia as a hemoglobin level less than 13.5 g/ dl for adult men and less than 12.0

findings were reported by Paintu and colleagues, who found an improvement in exercise

latter, however remained below normal, thus suggesting that the poor exercise capacity in
dialysis patients cannot be fully explained by anemia. These results confirm earlier

Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework depicts that the quality of life is modified and affected
treatment, and clinical and laboratory parameters. These factors have reciprocal
relationships and are interrelated in predicting the outcome of QOL. There is a one-way
arrow between hemodialysis treatment and socio-demographic factors and another arrow
because their ease of access to treatment depends on socioeconomic status. Thus these
four interrelated factors point to and mirror the QOL of the patients. On the other hand,
their quality of life will affect treatment compliance as well as their functional recovery
for the disease which in turn has a bearing on a patient’s treatment outcomes.

Methodology
Research Design
This study used a prospective, correlational, descriptive study design. There are
two parts in this paper. First quality of Life was assessed using Karnofsky Performance
Status Scale and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Sociodemographic, clinical and
laboratory profiles were also obtained. Then the patients had recombinant human
erythropoietin treatment for 4 weeks. In the second part, the Quality of Life , using KPSS
and SF-36 were again obtained from these patients and the results compared.

Research Setting
The study was conducted at Iloilo Doctors Hospital and Medical Center Renal
Care Unit, Iloilo City. Iloilo Doctors Hospital is a tertiary hospital with a 300-bed
capacity and ISO certification. The Iloilo Doctors Hospital Renal Care unit caters to
patients from Iloilo City, Capiz, Akjlan and Antique. There were 44 patients for a 3-
month period of June – August 2009. They are in either 2 sets of sessions in a day which
starts at 7:30 AM and ends at 5PM; the IDH Renal Care unit is open 24 hours a day for
emergency hemodialysis. The unit is well equipped with amenities and facilities needed
by the patient in accordance to the ruled and regulations of Department of Health Region
6. They have 6 functional hemodialysis machines and the unit id adjacent to the Medical
and Surgical Intensive Care units where patient can have access to critical care equipment
and staff. The staff is headed by a nephrologist who is a Fellow of the Philippine College
who maintain the machines and facilities. The unit also has access to surgeons who

The researcher visited the IDH Renal Care Unit everyday within the months of
June- August 2009. The researcher first obtained sociodemographic data from the
patients. She introduced herself to them and asked permission to each of them to become
a part of the study. After being given consent, the researcher administered the 2 QOL
instruments to the participants during the dialysis sessions. Clinical and laboratory data
were obtained from the patients’ records at the IDH renal care unit.
The patients were then given their weekly 2-3x dosages of recombinant human
erythropoietin injections for 4 weeks. The dosage was based on their initial and
weight and hemoglobin levels. After 4 weeks, laboratory parameters such as serum
creatinine, BUN, hemoglobin and albumin were again obtained. Creatinine Clearance
was solved using the Cockroft-Gault equation. The 2 QOL measures were again
administered and adverse effects to the treatment were noted, as well as the mean systolic
Afterwards, the data collected in the questions such as the demographic, clinical
and laboratory profiles were tallied. The 2 QOL measures were translated in the
Hiligaynon dialect which most of them could speak and understand as well. The results
The data obtained were transcribed by the researcher the soonest possible time to
minimize errors.

CKD. In this study, we have found out that there is some improvement in hemoglobin
levels, although minimal, after recombinant human erythropoietin treatment for 4 weeks.

This may be the reason for such. Schwartz et al have shown that erythrocytes in CKD
have a significantly reduced survival with a half life of as low as 22 days. Polenakovich

treatment, the mean erythrocyte half life increased slightly to 27.2 +/- 4.1 days and after
discontinuing RHuEPO for 12 months, the erythrocyte half life decreased again to 22.1

increased delivery of oxygen to body tissues. Bodily pain means that the patient has no
pain or no limitations due to pain. Vitality means that the patient is full of pep and energy
all the time. Social functioning means the person performs social activities without
interference.
However, our study also found out that recombinant human erythropoietin does
not lead to any improvement to role physical, mental health and general health. A low
score in role physical means that there are problems in work and in daily activities as a
result of physical health. A low score in general health means that the person evaluates
29
his or her own health as poor and believes it is likely to get worse. A low score in mental
health means that there is feeling of nervousness and depression all the time.
There was also an improvement in Karnofsky scores after RHuEPO therapy, and
this means that the patient’s ability to carry out his normal work and activity improves
after therapy. The mean score of 60 means that the patient requires occasional assistance,
This study has also shown a positive correlation between KPSS and SF-36
through physical functioning, social functioning and mental health. Thus it agrees to the
findings of other investigators that although KPSS is physician dependent with little or no
input from the patient in contrast to SF 36, it may replace SF-36 in patients who are not
conscious enough or are ill and not able to converse well to respond to questions and may
association between HRQOL and hemoglobin. Perhaps there is a factor, not anemia or a
low hemoglobin, which greatly affects physical functioning in patients with end stage
renal disease, and this call for further studies to prove this fact.
Another interesting finding in our study is the fact that among the 8 domains of
the SF-36 survey, the two factors which greatly affect Karnofsky Scores are Physical
Functioning and bodily pain. Thus we should address these two factors well, so that a
person’s performance can be maximized to his full potential. Addressing these two
problem factors are maybe the keys in raising our Karnofsky scores.
