Abstract
Renal failure is commonly accompanied by psychological distress compounding to mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Common risk factors towards the development of mental health disorders in people with renal failure include the need to attend regular hemodialysis session and the burden of related complications. A growing body of evidence has elucidated the biochemical and immunological underpinnings of mental health disorders in the context of renal failure. This knowledge calls for strengthening the existing mental health support frameworks and conducting research with the reported molecular pathways as potential therapeutic targetsKeywords
