Breathing exercise during dialysis for strength
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise you do during dialysis can help you feel stronger and do more daily activities. The exercise is simple and done while you are already in the dialysis chair.

- You have dialysis 3 times a week, each session lasting about 4 hours.
