Brief Summary

Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) can experience symptoms such as lassitude, pain, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, rash, skin dryness, sleep disorders, and emotional and sexual problems after the treatment. Many chronic HD patients do not feel well after the treatment sessions and need some time to recover. This recovery time is defined as the time required to recover from the feelings of lassitude and fatigue.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Post-dialysis Recovery Time

    Before the hemodialysis session, the patients were asked by the investigators how long it took them to recover from a dialysis session, taking the last treatment month into account.

    Up to 7 days

  • Number of Participants With Intradialytic Hypotension

    It is defined in the European Best Practice Guideline (EBPG) as a decrease of 20 mmHg or more in the systolic blood pressure or 10 mmHg or more in the mean arterial blood pressure together with symptoms requiring nursing intervention.

    Up to 7 days

  • Rate of Dialysis Symptoms

    It was identified with Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI). DSI consists of 30 items. We queried the subjects regarding symptoms in the last 7 days. The effect was evaluated with a Likert type scale from 0 to 4, representing "not at all" to "significantly". The total score of the DSI ranges from 0 to 150. A score of zero reflects no symptoms while increasing total scores reflect increasing effects of the symptoms.

    Up to 7 days

Interventions

Before the hemodialysis session, the patients were asked by the investigators how long it took them to recover from a dialysis session, taking the last treatment month into account.
