Risk of falls in people with chronic kidney disease and related factors.

CONCLUSION: high risk and high prevalence of falls were found in hemodialysis patients, greater in those with diabetes or mobility limitations. Fear of falling was identified especially in women and in people with less education. These findings challenge the role of preventing falls, both in hemodialysis sessions and in the adoption of strategies for activities of daily living that involve patients and their families.
