Brief Answer: Multivitamin supplements Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Due to presence of toxic metabolites released by infectious agents, fluid disturbances, hemodynamic changes and the metabolites medications used to treat lead to generalized fatigue or lethargy. This will certainly disappear on its own but does take time. You may speed up the process by consuming ample amount of water if allowed by your kidney specialist. Also taking multivitamin supplements will help in detoxifying the unwanted metabolites. Do consume energy drinks which can build up the strength. Hope, I answered your query. Please do let me know if any doubts. Regards,
