Abstract (2. Language): 
Aim: Despite its high prevalence, pain induced by uremic neuropathy is usually underrecognized during diagnostic process and undertreated. In most of the patients, traditional drugs are ineffective. In this study, we investigated the effect of gabapentin on neuropathic pain along with quality of life (QOL) and depression in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: Twenty two patients with chronic renal failure who were on HD were included in our study (10 males and 12 females, mean age 62±3.53). We administered 300 mg/day gabapentin for 8 weeks to patients in whom neuropathic pain was detected. We administered SF-36 Evaluation Test (Physical Component Score and Mental Component Score) for QOL, Beck s Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression and Short Form of McGill s Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ: VAS; Visual Analogue Score, PPI; Present Pain Intensity, total SF-MPQ) before and after the treatment. Results: With gabapentin treatment, we found a statistically significant decrease in pain scale scores. Total SF-MPQ decreased from 21.32±8.74 to 7.5±5.72, VAS scale decreased from 6.4±2.15 to 2.45±1.81, PPI decreased from 3.18±1.1 to 1.3±0.88. We also determined significant improvements in SF-36 and BDI scales (p<0.001). Conclusion: Gabapentin treatment improved pain which is a frequently encountered problem in HD patients and also made significant improvements in depression and quality of life.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Üremik nöropatiye bağlı ağrı yüksek yaygınlığına rağmen, teşhis ve tedavi yönünden göz ardı edilmektedir. Bu hastalarda genellikle kullanılan ilaç tedavileri etkin değildir. Biz bu çalışmamızda, hemodiyaliz hastalarında gabapentinin nöropatik ağrıyla birlikte yaşam kalitesi ve depresyona etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Çalışmaya son dönem böbrek yetmezlikli 22 hemodiyaliz hastası dahil edildi (10 erkek ve 12 kadın, yaş ortalaması 62±3.53). Nöropatik ağrı tespit edilen hastalara 8 hafta süre ile günde 300 mg gabapentin tedavisi verildi. Tedaviden önce ve sonra yaşam kalitesi için SF-36 değerlendirme testi (fiziksel ve mental komponent skoru), depresyon için Beck depresyon envanteri (BDI) ve ağrı içinde Mc Gill ağrı anketi kısa formu (SFMPQ: VAS; Visual Analogue Score, PPI; Present Pain Intensity, total SF-MPQ) uygulandı. Bulgular:Gabapentin tedavisi ile birlikte ağrı skorlarında önemli derecede azalma tespit ettik. Total SF-MPQ skoru 21.32±8.74 den 7.5±5.72, VAS 6.4±2.15 den 2.45±1.81, PPI 3.18±1.1 den 1.3±0.88 düştü. Ayrıca SF-36 ve BDI skorlarında da anlamlı iyileşmeler tespit ettik (p<0.001). Hemodiyaliz hastalarında sık karşılaşılan bir sorun olan ağrıya gabapentin tedavisinin etkili olduğunu, bununla birlikte yaşam kalitesi ve depresyonda iyileşme sağladığını tespit ettik.
