Measuring Leg Strength in Kidney Disease Patients on Dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures how strong your leg muscles are in patients with chronic kidney disease who receive dialysis treatment. Understanding normal strength patterns may help doctors better support kidney disease patients' physical health and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been on hemodialysis (a blood-cleaning treatment) for at least 1 month, with 3 sessions per week lasting 4 hours each
- You do not have a history of lower-leg amputation
- You do not have nerve, muscle, bone, or joint disorders that would affect leg strength testing
- Your other medical conditions (heart, diabetes, blood pressure, lungs, infections) must be stable and well-controlled
- You are able to understand and follow the study's strength-testing assessments

This study tests if gentle exercise during your dialysis sessions can help maintain muscle strength and improve sleep. If you are on chronic hemodialysis, at least 40 years old, and able to do simple exercises safely, you may be eligible.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether supervised physical exercise during hemodialysis can improve quality of life and health. It is for adults with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and can safely do an exercise program.
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 a targeted exercise program can help people who are very weak due to kidney disease. If you are on dialysis, have advanced kidney disease, or have had a kidney transplant, this program may improve your strength and daily function.
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.
