Many research use SF-36 quality of life tool to assess quality of life among kidney patients but it is not available in Nepali translated version. For my convenience, I prefer WHO-BREF tool for measurement.

Both scales are useful. I principally use SF-36. This also to compare with other binternational studies. e.g. in the validation studies aimed to compare the QoL in patients assumung MMF vs EC-MPA, almost always the SF-36 has been used

Sadly, neither one will work well: The sensitivity of QOL assessment is a direct function of the number of items being assessed and an inverse function of the homogeneity of the population tested. In this case you have a very small number of testing items (with both questionnaires) and a very homogeneous population.
