Strong Point of Inspiratory Muscle Training for Kidney and Immune Functions, and Quality of Life of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Hemodialysis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Inspiratory Muscle Training with an intensity of 50% MIP and Inspiratory Muscle Training with an intensity of 10% MIP for Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 on Dialysis. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with an increasing prevalence and incidence, poor prognosis, and high costs. It is characterized by changes in the kidney structure and functions for more than three months. It is grouped into several stages, including end-stage kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Hemodialysis (HD) is one of the RRT options other than kidney transplantation. Regular moderate-intensity exercise may improve certain elements of the immune system and have anti-inflammatory benefits. Aerobic exercise, extremity muscle strength exercises, and inspiratory muscle training have been reported to improve kidney function and quality of life in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis three times a week. However, the effect of inspiratory muscle training on kidney and immune function, and quality of life in CKD patients receiving HD twice a week remains unclear.
