Psychological Distress and Predictors of Anxiety and Depression in New Hemodialysis Patients.

Key takeaways

This study measured anxiety and depression in people who had just started dialysis, the treatment that filters blood when the kidneys fail. It also looked for traits linked to more distress. Most earlier research looked at people who had been on dialysis a long time, so this fills a gap. It is an observational study, so it shows links, not proof of cause. The part of the paper we have does not give how many people took part or the rates it found.
