Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorymotor disorder and the core feature of this syndrome is a distressing, irresistible need or urge to move the legs. RLS is one of the most troublesome conditions experienced by endstage renal disease patients treated with regular hemodialysis, and is significantly associated with their increased mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of RLS in the patients with end-stage renal failure in the three dialysis centers in central Serbia, and to investigate the association of the syndrome with clinical characteristics and biochemical variables.
