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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have been on hemodialysis for at least one year, getting it three times a week.
- You do not have serious heart problems (like a heart attack in the last 3 months).
- You do not have plans for a kidney transplant in the next year.
- You are able to sit, stand, and walk (with a cane or walker if needed), and you do not have any condition that makes exercise unsafe (like severe anemia, uncontrolled diabetes, or a recent infection).
