Acute Physiological Response to Exercise in End Stage Renal Disease
In Brief
An observational study for Renal Disease. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects between 5-10% of the world's population, equating to \~740 million people worldwide. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is the result of a progressive loss of kidney function where the patient requires dialysis to replace the typical functions of the kidney. The quality of life of these individuals can be poor as a result of various complications associated with CKD (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, muscle wastage, decreased fitness). In an attempt to combat reduced physical fitness, many studies have applied long term exercise programmes. However, the body's response to exercise in people with CKD is not well understood and a set of guidelines that informs safe and effective exercise prescription is lacking.
