Restless leg syndrome is particularly prone to occur in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, with a prevalence rate ranging from 6.6% to 62.0%. Often manifested as unbearable discomfort such as insect crawling and acupuncture in the deep part of the lower leg, which can be relieved after activity. This symptom significantly alleviates at night and in the early morning, which can easily cause sleep disorders. It is related to the sleep quality of MHD patients, reduces their physical function, seriously affects their quality of life, and even increases their mortality rate. Hemodialysis patients are highly susceptible to micro inflammatory states and dialysis related adverse reactions, which increases the incidence of cardiovascular events in MHD patients. Our hospital has improved the symptoms of restless legs syndrome, inflammation, and various indicators by increasing blood dialysis filtration and blood perfusion modes, and using drugs such as Praxosetirizine to treat restless legs, correcting anemia. The experience is summarized and reported as follows.
