Summary

This study tests whether doing physical therapy during dialysis or just before it works better for people with end-stage kidney disease. 72 adults on hemodialysis will be split into two groups and exercise twice a week for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure walking ability, strength, quality of life, and blood levels to find the best timing for exercise.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structured physical therapy exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show the best time for kidney patients to exercise, helping them move better and feel better during dialysis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 72 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise during dialysis might be uncomfortable or risky for some patients.
