Exercise and blood cell health in dialysis patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a personalized exercise program to regular dialysis can improve how well your red blood cells move and work. It may help people on dialysis feel better and have healthier blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on hemodialysis (a machine that cleans your blood) for at least 6 weeks.
- Your doctor must confirm your dialysis is dialyzing enough (Kt/V score above 1.2).
- You need to be at least 20 years old.
- You cannot have had high potassium in your blood in the last 3 months.
- You must not have bone, joint, or muscle problems that might limit exercise.

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.
This study looks at how red blood cells work in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to understand blood flow and may help guide future treatments.
This study tests whether a program of regular, active exercise can help people on maintenance hemodialysis (a type of dialysis for kidney failure) feel better and improve their health. It's a chance to add gentle, supervised movement to your routine.
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during your dialysis session can improve your health, help you cope better with your illness, and make you feel more positive about exercise. You'll be randomly assigned to either do the exercise during dialysis or receive usual care.
This trial studies whether supervised physical exercise during hemodialysis can improve quality of life and health. It is for adults with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and can safely do an exercise program.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions improves your health. If you join, you would do light exercises while receiving dialysis treatment, and the researchers will see if it helps you feel stronger or more energetic.
