Kidney transplantation is the famous and most important choice of treatment of renal replacement therapies (RRTs) because of its positive impact on morbidity, survival and cost. The health related quality of life is becoming important outcome. Quality of life is usually impaired in patients who have renal transplant because of renal transplant patients have anxiety, lack of social, physical and emotional support and diminished ability to take care of themselves. The basic purpose of renal transplantation is to achieve maximum quality of life with minimum side effects. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Rukhsana Akhtar Bahria International Orchard Hospital Lahore after approval from institution board of university of Lahore. 36 patients were enrolled in study by using purposive sampling technique. After taking informed consent all Kidney transplant patients aged between 18 years to 60 years, visited the post-transplantation OPD and continuously in follow-up sessions were included in study. A validated and standard WHO questionnaire of “Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOL-36™)” was used for data collection. Data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version.21.Chi-square test was applied to find out significant association between qualitative variables. P -Value < 0.05will be considered as statistically significant. Results: Majority of patients were from 40-49 years 10(27.0%). Females were more as compared to men (20(55.6) vs 16(44.4%)). 10(27.8) patients can read and write and 8(22.2%) have done matriculation. More patients live in Urban area as compared to rural area(19(52.8%) vs 17(47.2%)).8(22.2%) patients have less than 1 year of post kidney transplantation time and 19(52.8%) have 1 to 3 years. All the seven domains of KDQOL show poor QOL. General Health, Physical function and physical and emotional function shows average QOL and Emotional, social, daily activities and overall KDQOL shows poor QOL. There was insignificant association with age, gender, education; residential area and Post kidney transplantation length of time (years)(p-value > 0.05). Conclusions: After renal transplantation HRQOL becomes very important factor. After kidney transplantation HRQOL depends on many factors. It was concluded from current study that the HRQOL was not as good as it should be. Over the period of transplantation time patient’s quality of life remain same. The society, government, family, and medical staff need to support patients so they can also improve their QOL. Key word: Renal Diseases, Kidney transplant, Quality of life, KDQOL-36

Abstract Background and Aims Post-transplant weight gain and particularly visceral fat gain has been linked to the development of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, the effect of obesity on graft function after kidney transplantation has recently become a subject of interest. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with the kidney function in kidney transplant patients. Method We conducted a cross-sectional study that enrolled 80 kidney transplant patients aged 23–75 years (mean age 46.7 ± 11.5 years, 60% males). Anthropometric measurements of weight, height, waist, and hip circumferences in addition to skinfold thickness were obtained. BH% was calculated using a 4-site skinfold thickness method calculated through the Jackson-Pollock equation with a Harpenden caliper, utilizing a BF% cutoff of 35% for women and 25% for men to define obesity. Results The calculated BMI in our study group was 32.7±8.7 kg/m2, a mean BF% of 29.9±8.5% and a mean WHR of 0.9±0.1 Statistically significant difference in GFR, BMI, WHR and BF% were observed between males and females (r=0.455, p=0.02; r=0.412, p=0.016; r=0.437, p=0.022; r=0.348, p=0.011), respectively. After adjustment for age, gender, donor group, donor age and years of dialysis before transplantation, higher levels of all obesity measures were related to lower eGFR: BMI per 1 SD (β coefficient −3.883, 95% confidence interval [CI] −5,422 to −3,132), WHR (β coefficient −4.443, 95% CI −6.201 to −3.772), and BF% (β coefficient −3.722, 95% CI −4.332 to −3.461). The combination of higher BF% (BF% &gt;33 kg/m2) and central obesity (WHR &gt;0.85 for women, &gt;0.90 for men) was associated with the lowest eGFR compared with that in lean subjects. Conclusion The combination of high BF% and WHR may be an important risk factor for lower GFR in a kidney transplant recipient.
