Exercise during dialysis for heart health
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial tests if doing aerobic exercise during your regular dialysis sessions can help chronic kidney patients. If you are on hemodialysis, are between 20 and 65, and have a body mass index between 21 and 29.9, this study may be right for you.
This trial tests if doing exercises while on hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease. It is for patients aged 50-60 who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
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 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.
