First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-month exercise and personalized diet plan can help patients with obesity (BMI 40-44) lose weight so they can become active on the kidney transplant waiting list. Ten adults who are currently listed as 'inactive' due to their weight will follow a fitness program at a specific gym and receive nutrition guidance. The main goal is to see how much weight they lose by the end of the program.

Active substance
Exercise and personalized diet plan
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help more patients with obesity qualify for a kidney transplant, improving their chances of receiving one.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (10 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Weight loss is hard to maintain, and the program requires access to a specific gym and internet.
