METHODS: The research design is cross sectional study, conducted on CKD patients who performed dialysis at two hospitals in Yogyakarta Indonesia. This study examined the relationship between HRQoL and hemoglobin (Hgb) levels in 61 patients with CKD performed hemodialysis. Patients' hemoglobin levels were categorized into 3 levels, ie
