Abstract (English): The biological, physical and psychological burden of a chronic disease has an impact on the quality of life of people who suffer it. The perception of quality of life is affected by psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression that have a high prevalence in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These factors are also related to a lower life expectancy. It is surprising that the psychological aspects surrounding people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), have received so little attention in the scientific literature, despite of its importance in the overall health of these patients. The relatively new discipline called psychonephrology provides a broader view of the impact that these aspects have on individuals with chronic renal disease with a consequent practical application. In this article we delve into the consequences and prevalence of psychological problems that can be related with CKD and ADPKD. First of all we will focus the subject matter of this article in the field of CKD and ADPKD within the scope of psychonephrology. In second place the article introduces the concept of quality of life as a basic foundation that is affected when a person is diagnosed of CKD. In third place, we will present a recapitulation of the main research related to anxiety and depression disorders in CKD and ADPKD. Finally, the article makes a synthesis of the different lines of research presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La carga biológica, física y psíquica que caracteriza a las enfermedades renales crónicas repercute en la calidad de vida de las personas que las padecen. Y a esto se suman los trastornos psicológicos, como la ansiedad y la depresión, que tienen una alta prevalencia en esta población de pacientes. Por ello, sorprende la ausencia de datos e investigaciones que aborden las repercusiones psicológicas, incluso en aquellas personas que padecen enfermedades renales de larga duración como es la poliquistosis renal autosómica dominante (PQRAD). En este artículo se apoya el desarrollo de la psiconefrología como disciplina que aporta una visión más amplia del impacto de los procesos cognitivos y emocionales en los enfermos renales con su consecuente aplicación práctica. Con este propósito, se presenta una revisión de las principales líneas de investigación dedicadas a delimitar las características psicológicas del paciente con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) en general y con PQRAD en particular. En primer lugar, se presenta una breve radiografía de la ERC y de la PQRAD desde la psiconefrología. En segundo lugar, se introducirá el concepto de calidad de vida como uno de los pilares de la salud que se ve afectado cuando una persona recibe un diagnóstico de ERC y PQRAD. En tercer lugar, se hará una exposición de los principales estudios relacionados con la ansiedad y la depresión, dos de los trastornos psicológicos más comunes en este escenario. Finalmente, se presenta una síntesis de las distintas líneas de investigación realizadas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
