Summary

This study looks at why people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have trouble exercising and often experience high blood pressure during physical activity. Researchers will test whether regular cycling exercise, a drug called Kuvan, or supplements like histidine and beta-alanine can improve these issues. The goal is to better understand the body's response to exercise in CKD patients and find ways to help them stay active.
