The three most prevalent symptoms were also the most severe. There was no statistical correlation between the severity of
disease as measured by eGFR, haemoglobin (Hb), and prevalence or severity of symptoms. Although 92% of the studied group had a ‘very high co-morbidity’ index according to the modified Charlson comorbidity index, there was no statistical correlation between the eGFR and the burden of co-morbidities nor between the burden of co-morbidities and the number or severity of reported symptoms
