Prevalence and Factors Associated with Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers checked 107 people on dialysis for depression and anxiety, 67 on hemodialysis and 40 on peritoneal dialysis, using a standard questionnaire. They then looked at which personal details, clinical facts and lab values went along with higher scores. Depression and anxiety are common in kidney disease and are tied to worse health and higher death rates. This is an observational study, so it shows links only, not proof that any one factor causes the mood symptoms, and the final rates were not in the text available here.
