Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to determine possible changes in pruritus, quality of life, depression and sleep quality in pruritic hemodialysis (HD) patients with gabapentin therapy. Patients and Methods: Fourteen adult HD patients (7 men, 7 women; mean age 59.7±17.2 years; range 41 to 88 years) with history of pruritus of more than eight weeks were assigned to receive 8-week gabapentin (300 mg per day) therapy. The daily pruritus were recorded using visual analogue scale for each period of the study during one week preceding the trial, the active treatment phase, the placebo phase and the intervening 1-week washout period. Sleep quality was determined with a modified post-sleep inventory, quality of life with a short form of Medical Outcomes Study (SF-36), depression using the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: The mean pruritus score and total of post-sleep inventory were decreased significantly with gabapentin therapy (p=0.01 and p=0.002 respectively). Physical and mental component scales of SF-36 increased, whereas cognitive and somatic depression index decreased with gabapentin. Conclusion: We concluded that beneficial effects of gabapentin therapy on pruritus, quality of life, depression and sleep quality are clinically important in HD patients with pruritus. Gabapentin therapy should be taken into account as an important choice of therapy in pruritic HD patients.

Özet

Amaç: Gabapentin tedavisi ile kaşıntı şikayeti olan hemodiyaliz (HD) hastalarında kaşıntı, yaşam kalitesi, depresyon ve uyku kalitesindeki olası değişiklikleri tespit etmeyi amaçladık. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Sekiz haftadan daha uzun süreli kaşıntı öyküsü olan 14 HD hastasına (7 erkek, 7 kadın; ort. yaş 59.7±17.2; dağılım 41-88) günde 300 mg gabapentin 8 hafta süre ile verildi. Çalışma öncesi 1 hafta, aktif tedavi fazı, plasebo fazı ve araya giren 1 haftalık temizlenme fazı esnasında görsel analog ölçeği kullanılarak günlük kaşıntı skorları kaydedildi. Uyku kalitesi modifiye uyku-sonrası kaydı ile, yaşam kalitesi Tıbbi Sonuç Çalışması Kısa Form-36 şekli (SF-36) ile ve depresyon da Beck Depresyon kaydı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Gabapentin tedavisi ile ortalama kaşıntı skorunda ve toplam uyku-sonrası kaydı skorunda anlamlı derecede düşüş gözlendi (sırasıyla p=0.01 ve p=0.002). SF-36'nın fiziksel ve mental komponent skorları gabapentin tedavisi ile artarken, bilişsel ve somatik depresyon indeksleri gabapentin ile azaldı. Sonuç: Gabapentin tedavisi kaşıntı şikayeti olan hemodiyaliz hastalarında kaşıntı, yaşam kalitesi, depresyon ve uyku kalitesi üzerinde klinik olarak önemli yararlı etkilere sahiptir. Gabapentin tedavisi kaşıntısı olan hemodiyaliz hastalarında önemli bir tedavi seçeneği olarak göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
