Adolescent and young adults with CKD report low QOL values. Their utility-based QOL scores imply they are willing to trade considerable life expectancy for perfect health. Holistic care to improve QOL and minimize disease burden are imperative for optimizing health outcomes in young people with CKD, particularly those on dialysis.
