Exercise Preconditioning for Cardioprotection During Hemodialysis
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Research shows that exercise during hemodialysis, like cycling, can improve muscle strength, endurance, and overall physical function in patients with kidney disease. It also helps improve nutrition and hydration status, and may reduce heart-related issues during dialysis, enhancing quality of life and recovery time.
12345Intradialytic exercise, such as cycling during hemodialysis, is generally considered safe for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Studies have shown it can improve physical condition and does not increase the risk of heart issues during dialysis.
12346Intradialytic Cycling is unique because it involves exercising on a stationary bike during hemodialysis sessions, which can improve heart health by stabilizing blood flow and reducing heart strain, unlike traditional treatments that do not incorporate exercise.
23478Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for individuals who are undergoing hemodialysis, a treatment for kidney failure. Participants should be willing to exercise before their dialysis sessions. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically include factors like age range, overall health status, and the absence of conditions that could interfere with the study or pose risks.Inclusion Criteria
