Response - NO
Brief Summary   The study will examine fatigue severity before and after hemodialysis in patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Researchers will conduct a cross-sectional analysis involving adult participants undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Fatigue levels will be measured using a standardized fatigue assessment scale administered prior to and immediately after the dialysis session. The data will be analyzed to identify any significant differences in fatigue scores pre- and post-treatment. The study will also explore potential factors that will influence fatigue, such as duration of dialysis, age, gender, and comorbid conditions. Results will provide insights into how hemodialysis sessions will impact physical and mental fatigue in this population. The findings will help healthcare providers understand the severity and pattern of fatigue associated with dialysis and will inform interventions that will aim to reduce fatigue and improve patients’ quality of life. Recommendations will be developed to guide supportive care practices in dialysis centers
