Creatine and exercise during dialysis: a new hope for kidney patients?
NCT ID NCT07666815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking creatine supplements and doing light exercise during dialysis sessions can help people with advanced kidney disease maintain muscle strength and body health. About 48 adults on dialysis will take either creatine or a placebo daily for 8 weeks, while also following an exercise program. The goal is to see if these simple additions can improve grip strength and other measures of physical function.
