Core Tip	Quality of life (QOL) in end stage renal disease patients is an important outcome measure. This study tried to understand the dimensions of various QOL instruments and association of various risk factors with QOL. Since each instrument measures specific aspect of QOL, use of any one of these instruments allows studies to measure QOL only partially compromising on the validity of the predictive power of QOL. Furthermore, less attention has been given on conduct of qualitative and longitudinal studies. There is an urgent need to develop disease and culture specific instrument that covers most aspects of QOL.
