Exercise program to reduce tiredness in some kidney patients
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doing a combination exercise program can reduce “fatigability,” meaning feeling unusually tired or weak during activity, in Veterans with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease. It also compares results with people without kidney disease and checks for safety, especially for heart and joint health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 50 years or older and can walk on your own (with or without a cane/walker).
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or 4 and are not on dialysis (predialysis).
- You can speak and read English, and can understand where you are and what time it is (person/place/time).
- You do not have serious/untreated heart problems, severe uncontrolled cardiovascular issues, or recent acute kidney injury (in the last 12 months).
- You use the DC VAMC as your main place for kidney care.
- You don’t have orthopedic/joint pain or mobility problems that would make exercise unsafe, and you plan to stay in the DC area for the next year.

This study tests a simple program that combines muscle relaxation exercises and walking to help reduce fatigue in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You'll receive text messages to guide you and track your progress.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help older adults with chronic kidney disease improve their physical function and stay active. You have to be able to do exercise and not be on dialysis.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce toxins in the blood for people with chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand how exercise affects the body.
This study tests whether a targeted exercise program can help people who are very weak due to kidney disease. If you are on dialysis, have advanced kidney disease, or have had a kidney transplant, this program may improve your strength and daily function.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help adults over 55 with chronic kidney disease regain strength and mobility after a hospital stay.
This trial tests if doing aerobic exercise during your regular dialysis sessions can help chronic kidney patients. If you are on hemodialysis, are between 20 and 65, and have a body mass index between 21 and 29.9, this study may be right for you.
