The article presents the results of quality of life evaluation and study of clinical and laboratory tests in patients with chronic heart failure during inter-dialysis period. Patients were treated with low electrified pectine and calcium alginate. 43 patients with chronic kidney disease following programmed hemodialysis participated the study. They were treated with sorbates during inter-dialysis period. The evaluation of quality of life was performed with SF-36 questionnaire before and after the study period. Clinical symptoms dyspepsia lessened; it helped to improve patients quality of life mainly due to relief of physical disability. Sorbates, particularly made of sea products, improve patients quality of life during inter-dialysis period; this type of drugs could be included into management protocol in patients with heart failure.
