Fibromyalgia Syndrome in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis
Abstract
Objectives: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by fatigue, memory problems, and widespread pain. The syndrome is present in about %2-8 of the general population. However, knowledge about this topic in specific populations is limited. Our aim was to evaluate FMS in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and control group, and the association between clinical and laboratory parameters.
Patients and Methods: Eighty-nine dialysis patients and healthy volunteers were included in the study. The control group compromised 30 healthy adults (9 females 21 males with mean age of 52,9±16,3 years), 26 patients (7 females 19 males, with mean age of 53±15,9 years) receiving peritoneal dialysis and 33 patients (11 females and 22 males, with mean age of 64,5±7,1 years) receiving hemodialysis were enrolled in this study. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed with the criteria of 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and 2011 modification of the ACR preliminary diagnostic criteria. Gender, age, renal function tests, electrolytes, parathyroid hormone, renal failure etiology, and how long has it been dialyzed were recorded.
Results: The prevalence of fibromyalgia was higher in patients with peritoneal dialysis compared with hemodialysis group. There was no statistically significant between peritoneal dialysis group and healthy group. Also, there was no statistically significant between for depression and cognitive functions between peritoneal dialysis group and healthy group. But, the parameter was found to be high in patients receiving hemodialysis compared with peritoneal and healthy groups. Kidney function tests and electrolyte levels were significantly different between healthy adults and dialysis groups (p <0.001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of fibromyalgia was similar between peritoneal dialysis and healthy group. It may be related to actively participate in treatment, fewer stress factors, and better preservation of renal functions.
