How common are anxiety and depression in dialysis patients
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how common anxiety and depression are in people who are on hemodialysis (a treatment that filters your blood when your kidneys fail). It aims to understand these feelings so that patients can get better emotional support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
