Six-minute walk test for children on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study checks how far children on regular dialysis can walk in six minutes. It helps doctors understand how well their bodies handle exercise and may guide better care for kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child or teenager with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) who is currently on regular hemodialysis (a treatment that filters your blood when your kidneys can't).
- You must not have any heart or lung disease that could affect your ability to walk.
- You must not have conditions like hemiplegia (weakness on one side) or cerebral palsy that would make the walking test difficult.
