Pedaling through dialysis: can exercise save limbs?

NCT ID NCT01866891

Summary

This study tested whether regular cycling during dialysis sessions could improve blood flow in the legs of patients with kidney failure. Researchers enrolled 27 adults on long-term dialysis who agreed to pedal for 30 minutes during their treatment. The main goal was to see if three months of this exercise increased oxygen delivery to the skin in the lower legs, which might help prevent serious wounds.
