Goals of maintenance hemodialysis therapy include not only the preservation of an individual patient's life in the presence of kidney failure, but also restoration of optimal quality of life. Although many conceptual and method problems are associated with the definition and assessment of quality of life in the chronically ill, there is broad agreement that patient quality of life is related to physical function and well-being. Evidence exists that despite advances in dialysis therapy, a high percentage of patients on maintenance dialysis therapy report chronic psychological symptoms, impaired activities of daily living and social function, and incomplete occupational rehabilitation that impair their functionality. This article reviews the impact of L-carnitine therapy on several dimensions of functionality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
