AB  - Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5, experience multiple symptoms 
      that negatively affect the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study 
      examined the cluster of symptoms and their association with disease severity and 
      comorbidities. The study sample included 123 patients with CKD Stage 5; 60 
      patients were in the dialysis group and 63 patients in the Conservative Kidney 
      Management group. Symptom data were collected using the Spanish modified version 
      of Palliative Care Outcome Scale-Symptoms (POS-S) Renal, a validated 
      questionnaire to assess symptoms in this population. More than half of the 
      patients described weakness, difficulty sleeping, and feeling depressed. Two 
      symptom clusters were identified. There was no significant statistical 
      correlation between disease severity and symptoms and between comorbidities and 
      symptoms. The tendency of these symptoms to occur together has implications for 
      improving symptom management in this population. Routine symptom assessment can 
      be useful in clinical and research settings.
