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.

Detailed description

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. The patients are limited in their daily living activities at home and at work during this period and a significant amount of time is therefore required to go back to normal life.
