Clinic- and home-based renal rehabilitation improves spKt/V and uremic syndrome in hemodialysis patients: a case report.

ABSTRACT: There was an increasing uptake of hemodialysis and patient life expectancy due to improved treatment efficiency. However, the quality of life (QOL) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is not parallelly improved, leading to a shift in focus towards promoting the QOL. Among the common complications of CKD such as anaemia and mineral bone disorder, uremic syndrome has been found as the main contributor to poor QOL. We present the case of an 80-year-old man with hemodialysis, who presented with poor appetite and weakness following recovering from COVID-19. Biochemical, echocardiographic, body composition, psychological, nutritional, and QOL assessments suggested multi-organ dysfunction attributable to uremic syndrome.
