Individuals receiving in-center hemodialysis experience a high symptom burden that detrimentally affects their quality of life. There are few evidence-based interventions for symptom relief in this population. To stimulate innovation in symptom management, data on patient symptom prioritization and treatment preferences are needed. We undertook this study to ( 1 ) identify patient-prioritized symptoms for the development of symptom relief therapies and ( 2 ) elicit preferences for treatments among individuals receiving hemodialysis.
