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 trial tests whether doing exercise during your hemodialysis sessions can improve your quality of life and overall health. If you are on dialysis for kidney failure, this program may help you feel better and stay stronger.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help measure muscle loss in people on dialysis. If you join, researchers will check your blood levels and see how they relate to your muscle strength and function, which might help improve care for people with kidney failure.
This study tests whether a regular exercise program can improve health and well-being for people on hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). If you join, you may get guidance on safe exercises that could help you feel stronger and more energetic.
This study tests whether doing aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and improve their health. If you are on dialysis and are able to exercise, you might benefit from this program.
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.
