Dialysis Patients' hidden depression: nurses may hold the key
NCT ID NCT07651436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether nurses can accurately identify depression in people on hemodialysis. About 450 patients will have their depression symptoms assessed both by a nurse and by themselves using a standard questionnaire. The goal is to see if nurse assessments can be a reliable, practical way to catch depression that often goes undiagnosed in dialysis centers.
