Exercise study in chronic kidney disease with blood-pressure medicines
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease stage III or IV (or are a kidney transplant recipient, or a matched control without kidney disease)
- You usually do little exercise (less than 20 minutes, twice per week)
- Your kidney numbers are stable recently (no faster decline in kidney function in the last 6 months) and your blood bicarbonate is 22–24
- You have hypertension (high blood pressure) but it is not too high (no readings above 170/100)
- You must be able to exercise on a stationary bicycle and safely do the MRI scan (no unsafe implants/metal and you can tolerate enclosed spaces)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
This trial studies whether high-intensity physical exercise helps people with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis. It aims to improve health and physical function.
This study tests if combining exercise with blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe and helpful for healthy adults and people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to improve strength and health without heavy weights.
This study tests whether lifestyle changes—like diet and exercise—can help lower blood pressure in Black adults with moderate kidney disease. It's designed specifically for people at higher risk of kidney problems, and the goal is to see if these changes can slow kidney disease progression and reduce heart disease risk.
This study tests whether a special type of cycling exercise (eccentric cycling) is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who are on dialysis. The goal is to improve fitness and overall health.
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
