Abstract
ObjectiveThe interest of our work is to identify the objective parameters that can improve the subjective parameters of the well-being of the patients and to share the experience of the care in our center. Kt / V urea and KDQOL SF 36 scale (Kidney Disease Quality of Life short form 36)were used.
 Material and methodsThis is a single-center cross-sectional study conducted in October 2018 among patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, followed for at least six months in the Nephrology Department of Fez University Hospital (Morocco). The quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 (short form) version of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) scale in its validated Arabic dialect version (1). We used the KDQOL-SF36 results as quantitative variables related to obtaining a Kt / V> 1.7.
 ResultsThis study included 17 adult patients on peritoneal dialysis of which 35.3% are on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and 64.7% are on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The mean age is 40.8 ± 5 years and the sex ratio is 9H / 8F.
 In bivariate analysis, we found a significant relationship between dialysis dose and social support. This result could be explained by better adherence in patients with better social support.
 ConclusionEfforts must be made to achieve the adequacy goals, without losing sight of patients’ quality of life. There is also a need for further studies that include more patients and study other parameters such as clinical evaluation, residual renal function and ultrafiltration.

Summary
La dialyse péritonéale (DP) est l’un des trois moyens de suppléance rénale disponibles pour les patients insuffisants rénaux chroniques au stade terminal. Prendre l’avis des dialysés péritonéaux est l’un des moyens les plus simples de mettre au clair les points faibles de la technique et d’étudier la possibilité de les corriger. L’avis de l’équipe soignante qui l’encadre est primordial. KDQOL (Kidney Disease Quality of Life) est une échelle de mesure de la qualité de vie validée par plusieurs études. C’est un questionnaire qui se base sur le SF36 (Short Form) général comportant des questions mesurant les deux composantes : mentale et physique et rajoutant la partie spécifique au dialysé. Un score plus élevé est en faveur d’une meilleure qualité de vie. Un score plus élevé est en faveur d’une meilleure qualité de vie.
