Disability in instrumental activities of daily living in hemodialysis patients: Influence on quality of life related to health.

CONCLUSIONS: HD patients are more dependent on IADL than on ADL and with a higher degree of severity and the level of dependence in both types of activities has important influence on HRQoL. Early detection of the occurrence of disability in the realization of IADL can be used to initiate intervention programs that help to prevent, reverse or delay the progression.
