TL;DR: Fatigue is an important and often underrecognized symptom in the dialysis population and possible interventions for minimizing fatigue in patients on long-term dialysis therapy should aim at improving health care provider awareness, developing improved methods of measurement, understanding the pathogenesis better, and managing known contributing factors.

TL;DR: The findings of this study demonstrate that ESRD patients experience profound levels of fatigue and elucidate its correlates and the association of fatigue with survival may have significant implications for this population.

TL;DR: Depressive symptoms, restless legs syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness, and low albumin levels may provide targets for interventions to improve fatigue in patients with advanced CKD.

TL;DR: Demographic and clinical factors have significant associations with fatigue, which itself predicts mortality, and improving fatigue in the end-stage renal disease population may positively impact patient well-being and survival.

TL;DR: While portal adoption appears to be increasing, greater attention is needed to understand why vulnerable populations do not access it, and barriers to the use of e-health technologies in underserved patients with CKD should be examined.
