简要总结
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) among adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 4 to 5) at a tertiary care center. Using validated questionnaires, including the mRLSDQ, IRLS, KDQOL13, PHQ9, and PSQI, the study will assess the presence, severity, and impact of RLS on quality of life, mood, and sleep. Clinical and biochemical factors such as anemia, iron status, and dialysis modality will be evaluated as potential predictors. The study involves 231 participants, requires no biological samples, and aims to fill gaps in Indian data to enhance the early detection and management of RLS in CKD patients.
