Abstract

There are little data concerning the prevalence of pain and its intensity in the population suffering from kidney diseases. However, according to number of pathologies with a kidney impact, the sequellae of the kidney disease itself and the technology in this area, there is a risk for a high prevalence rate of either acute and/or chronic pain. This can be responsible for some degree of psychologic disturbances as a major impact on the quality of life. Pain management must be a challenge in this field as it may interfere with the kidney disease.
