title: Dialysis and fatigue: implications for nurses--a case study analysis.
abstract: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms experienced by patients receiving dialysis. When patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease are admitted to acute care settings, they require management of their often profound fatigue. CKD, renal pathology, and renal fatigue are examined in relation to a case study.
