Effect of intradialytic weight resistance training exercise in sarcopenic hemodialysis patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Sarcopenia has a high prevalence in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, there is limited evidence of resistance exercise in these patients.

Objective: The study investigated the effects of resistance exercise on muscle mass, strength, and physical functioning.

Effects of febuxostat on markers of endothelial dysfunction and renal progression in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Hyperuricemia relates to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and impaired endothelial function. Febuxostat is potent and effective for decreasing serum uric acid levels. Information for the effect of febuxostat treatment on markers of endothelial dysfunction and renal injury among patients with CKD remains limited.
