| Resumo: | Objective: To evaluate and compare the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis and post-transplant patients. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory research, carried out in the city of Campina Grande-PB, Brazil, consisting of 103 patients. Two instruments were used, one sociodemographic that also assessed the general characteristics of the disease, and one that was already validated, assessing quality of life. The analysis was descriptive (relative frequencies, absolute, mean, median, mode, maximum and minimum standard deviation) and inferential (Fisher's chi-square).Results: The results indicate an improvement in the total quality of life score of transplanted patients compared to patients on hemodialysis, this picture is reflected in all facets of the instrument, with the exception of general health, which is the average of patients undergoing treatment hemodialysis was higher than transplanted patients. Conclusion: The study hypothesis is confirmed, in which kidney transplantation improves the patient's quality of life, when compared to hemodialysis treatment, minimizing the effects of the disease and care costs. |
