Acute effects of intradialytic aerobic exercise on solute removal, blood gases and oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Introduction: Hemodialysis contributes to increased oxidative stress and induces transitory hypoxemia. Compartmentalization decreases the supply of solutes to the dialyzer during treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of intradialytic aerobic exercise on solute removal, blood gases and oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease during a single hemodialysis session.

Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have reduced physical and functional capacity when compared with the general population. Hemodialysis (HD) restricts patients activities, favoring a sedentary lifestyle and leading to functional limitations. HD patients are less active, present low exercise tolerance and have high physical deconditioning.
