Exercise during dialysis for fitness and survival
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
