Depression and anxiety are common among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients but are rarely diagnosed and treated. Furthermore, the fraction of patients with depression is greater among hemodialyzed patients. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of depression symptoms, anxiety and assess the level of life satisfaction in three groups of patients based on the stage of CKD. The study group consisted of 283 patients-130 females and 153 males, mean aged was 54.7 (±15.3) with stage III-V chronic kidney disease and after kidney transplantation. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used. The highest percentage of patients with depressive symptoms was recorded in the group of dialysis patients with stage V CKD. The lowest percentage of patients with high satisfaction with life was noted in the pre-dialysis group. There was a significant relationship between BDI and STAI, SWLS in all groups while a significant relationship between BDI and handgrip strength was observed in dialysis and kidney transplantation patients. Anxiety as a trait was found to be the factor most significantly associated with depressive symptoms in each of the three patient groups. Screen testing and monitoring of the emotional state of patients with CKD are needed, regardless of the stage of the disease and treatment, including patients after kidney transplantation
