The great progress that has been made in application of dialyses lets the patients with chronic kidney disorders live in satisfactory somatic state for many years. The patients' quality of life becomes a more often raised issue. The psychological problems accompanying this form of treatment have many aspects that are worth paying attention to, e.g., mood reduction or resignation attitude. The symptoms that usually occur in depression gain special significance in the case of patients treated with dialyses. Loss of appetite in these patients may lead to a prompt occurrence of metabolic disorders. Mood reduction may result in willingness to give up treatment. Depression symptoms are a significant early indication of bad prognosis as to survival of patients treated with dialyses.
