Intradialytic Activities and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Hemodialysis Patients

Conclusions: Hemodialysis patients with more active intradialytic activities report better mental and kidney-disease-specific HRQOL. These results should be confirmed in a prospective study with a broader cohort of hemodialysis patients. Dialysis providers may consider offering patients with low levels of activity additional support and opportunities to engage in beneficial intradialytic activities.Am J Nephrol 2018;48:181 –189
