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 trial tests if doing exercises while on hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease. It is for patients aged 50-60 who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
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 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.
This trial tests whether doing resistance or aerobic exercise during dialysis can help prevent blood pressure drops in people on hemodialysis. It may help you if you often feel dizzy or lightheaded during treatment.
