Abstract

Self-reported "poor" SQ was common in a CKD cohort (Stages 3 - 5) and was not only associated with lower quality of life scores and several modifiable symptoms, but also with higher risk of pre-ESRD mortality. Greater attention to this clinical problem is highly recommended in this high-risk population.
