Abstract

A 67-year-old Caucasian female with ESRD secondary to diabetes who had been treated with hemodialysis for 2 years was complaining of general fatigue and weakness. She had retired from office work upon starting dialysis treatments, which were 3.5 h/session, 3 days/week. She tolerated dialysis well and had good adherence to her dialysis treatments and associated dietary recommendations. She had an AV fistula in her left upper arm. She had history of shortness of breath with exertion before starting dialysis.
