Exercise and insulin resistance in dialysis patients
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects muscle metabolism and insulin resistance in people on dialysis, compared to those with metabolic syndrome and healthy individuals. It aims to find blood markers that could help assess insulin resistance in dialysis patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical fitness, body composition, and survival. If you are on hemodialysis and meet the health criteria, you would either exercise while on the machine or receive standard care.
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 different lengths of exercise during dialysis sessions to see if they improve dialysis effectiveness, reduce fatigue and depression, and boost strength and quality of life. It could help you feel better and get more out of your dialysis treatments.
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
This study tests whether doing light resistance exercises or aerobic exercises during your dialysis sessions can help improve your blood pressure and heart health. It may help reduce the sudden drops in blood pressure that some people experience during dialysis.
This study tests whether doing aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and improve their health. If you are on dialysis and are able to exercise, you might benefit from this program.
