Introduction
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common motor-sensory disorder among chronic kidney diseasepatients on haemodialysis (HD), significantly affecting quality of life. While its prevalence varies widely, there is limited research on the condition among African haemodialysis patients. This study addressed this gap by assessing the prevalence, severity and associated factors of RLS in patients undergoing HD at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Tanzania.
