Effect of yoga exercise therapy on oxidative stress indicators with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis.

Background: Oxidative stress promotes endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in chronic renal disease.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of Hatha yoga on oxidative stress indicators and oxidant status, in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis.

Design: This prospective randomized study consisted of 33 ESRD patients in the Hatha yoga exercise group who were matched with 35 ESRD patients in the control group.

Effect of exercise therapy on lipid parameters in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis.

Background: Dyslipidemia has been established as a well-known traditional risk factor for cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease patients.

Aim: This study investigated the impact of Hatha yoga exercise on lipid parameters in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis.

Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized study consisted of 33 ESRD patients in the Hatha yoga exercise group that was matched with 35 ESRD patients in the control group.
