We investigated whether the dialysis adequacy (Kt/v) and serum hemoglobin level had any correlation with depression severity. Psychiatric interview was performed on 30 HD and 30 CAPD patients. Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) was used to evaluate depression symptoms. Kt/v and serum hemoglobin level were detected. Half of HD patients were depressive, while depression wasn't found in any CAPD patient. Hemoglobin was in positive correlation with the HAMD, while Kt/v was in negative correlation with the HAMD. Patients on CAPD had less depressive symptoms. Good dialysis adequacy diminish depressive symptoms.展开更多
