Associations among pruritus, fatigue, and comfort in patients undergoing haemodialysis: a cross-sectional study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study found that itching, tiredness, and comfort were linked in people on hemodialysis — those with worse itching or fatigue also reported lower comfort. Because it is a snapshot in time (cross-sectional), it shows a connection but cannot prove one causes the other. The study included 182 people across six dialysis centers.
