Abstract

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms experienced by patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and it can be defined as weakness, exhaustion, incapacitating, and disorder. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the correlation between fatigue severity and key clinical parameters in hemodialysis patients in West Bank hospitals. 62 adult dialysis patients were evaluated for fatigue severity using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F). Demographic information, health behaviors, and clinical characteristics were gathered. The findings demonstrated a strong negative association between fatigue severity and hemoglobin levels (r=-0.319, p=0.023), emphasizing the role of low hemoglobin levels in increasing fatigue. There were no significant relationships between weariness and serum creatinine, phosphorus, or calcium levels. These findings emphasize the necessity of monitoring and treating hemoglobin levels in dialysis patients' tiredness management, pointing to further research and viable therapies.
