Abstract

Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis experience many physical, psychological, and social changes associated with the disease process and the patient s ability to adapt to changes. Chronic kidney disease with hemodialysis is associated with physical symptoms and complications. Physical symptoms can be seen from the status of blood pressure and pulse. A total of 4 people have high blood pressure or hypertension and 1 person has normal blood pressure. In addition, it also causes neurological disorders and gastrointestinal disorders which have an impact on the quality of life of sufferers. Each of these physical changes has the potential to reduce quality of life.
