ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF PAIN IN PATIENTS ON RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Chronic Kidney Disease patients experience not only their renal disease, with its manifestations
and complications, but also, quite often, pain that affects their everyday life. A study of pain
self-perception and self-management among patients on haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis was conducted. An increasing trend of
pain perception was found as age progressed, along with the fact that both groups of patients
experienced equally high levels of pain, and used similar ways of self-management. Early identification of the patient in pain is the key to
the provision of higher quality of care.
