Fatigue is a common symptom in long-term dialysis patients. This study investigated possible clinical factors which may cause the development of fatigue in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). We also investigated the relationship between total solute clearance (TSC) and fatigue symptoms in PD patients. ⋯ This study has demonstrated that dialysis adequacy plays a key role in the development chronic fatigue. In addition, weekly C(cr) was better correlated with fatigue than Kt/V(urea).
