Abstract
Using a novel application of the outcome measure RPE, patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD reported considerable exertional fatigue during simulated activities of daily living. Poor compensation for mild anemia contributed to this symptom. In addition to anemia, the entire oxygen transport chain needs to be targeted to treat fatigue in patients with CKD.
