Abstract
Both the CES-D and the PHQ-2 can identify patients with CKD who need further evaluation for depression. The PHQ-2 seems to be a useful screen for depression and impaired QoL in a renal clinic setting. Patients with CKD and lower hemoglobin may be at greater risk for depression than those with normal values.
