Exercise and diet may slow early kidney damage
NCT ID NCT06912425
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 12-week program of exercise, a protein-controlled diet, and education could improve health in people with early-stage kidney disease (stages G1 and G2). Fifteen participants completed the program. Researchers measured changes in cholesterol, muscle strength, body composition, and quality of life. The goal is to find safe ways to manage early kidney disease and possibly prevent it from getting worse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise program and protein-controlled diet with educational intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that lifestyle changes help manage early kidney disease and prevent progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, completed trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply widely. It tests lifestyle changes, not a drug, so benefits are likely modest.

Inclusion Criteria: * Established diagnosis of CKD by the physician in G1 and G2 * Who meet the requirements of normal or decreased filtration rate according to: * G1: ≥ 90 or G2: 60-89 mL/ min/ 1.73m2 * Alterations in the urinary sediment (cellular cylinders of any type, dysmorphic erythrocytes). * Confirmation of damage by renal ultrasound (Decreased renal size, thinning of the renal cortex, increased echogenicity of the parenchyma, poor differentiation between the renal cortex and sinus, renal cysts suggestive of cortical or medullary changes). * Men and women between 18 and 65 years old * Control of baseline pathologies (glycosylated hemoglobin less than 9%, blood pressure no higher than 140/90mmHg). * Patients who agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form. * Patients who have no limitations to perform the exercises. * If participants have diagnosed diabetes or hypertension, who are on medication and under regular internal medicine or nephrology treatment. * Male and female patients, including those who are illiterate but can be accompanied in the initial sessions to sign the informed consent form. * All participants, even those who do not have a mobile device, will be provided with an exercise and nutrition guide so that they do not have any limitations when carrying out the activities. Exclusion Criteria: * Stages 3, 4 and 5 * Children under 18 years of age * Patients who, due to their place of origin, find it difficult to travel to the sessions. * Diabetes Mellitus in uncontrolled (Glycated Hemoglobin \>9 %) * Those who have lost their sight * Presence of uremic alterations such as uremic encephalopathy. * Who present unstable blood pressure with blood pressure levels above 140/90mmHg, patients showing sustained blood pressure elevations above 140/90 will be discontinued from the study. * Peripheral vascular disease of all types (Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Chronic Venous Disease (CVD), Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Buerger's Phenomenon (Thromboangiitis Obliterans), Kawasaki Disease). * Failure to sign the informed consent form Elimination Criteria: * Injury, discomfort that makes reincorporation impossible. * Patients who have decided to abandon the study * Patients who do not attend 2 of the face-to-face sessions, those who do not attend two of their sessions will be taken into consideration.
