Physical activity and heart health in peritoneal dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how daily physical activity affects heart health in people who are on peritoneal dialysis for chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if more activity can reduce heart risks.
