  • In this Review, Finkelstein and colleagues discuss the effects of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and therapy on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients. They suggest that monitoring HRQOL—using standardized tools that incorporate assessment of patient-reported outcomes—should form part of the routine care of patients with ESRD, and emphasize the importance of developing strategies to improve the HRQOL of these patients.
