Background: In healthy individuals, an acute inflammatory response occurs after intense exercise due to gut ischaemia and intestinal bacterial endotoxin translocation into the bloodstream. This process maybe exacerbated in patients who exercise during dialysis due to large volume shifts experienced by many during haemodialysis (HD). The acute effect of intra-dialytic exercise on blood endotoxins and inflammation is not known.
Method: The effect of intra-dialytic exercise on blood endotoxin and inflammation was investigated in 10 patients and compared with resting haemodialysis. Blood was measured for endotoxin and inflammatory biomarkers before and after dialysis.
Result: With the exception of one sample, all samples tested negative for endotoxin. Intra-dialytic exercise attenuated the rise of interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor-α and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after the HD procedure.
Conclusion: Intra-dialytic exercise was not associated with an observable rise in blood endotoxin, although it may ameliorate the inflammatory effects of the HD procedure. Larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.

Introduction Hemodialysis is the standard treatment for end-stage renal disease. However, patients receiving hemodialysis can become less active as a result of treatment, resulting in the accumulation of waste products. Intradialytic exercise improves the clearance of urea and creatinine by opening up vascular beds.

Depression is a common mental health concern among patients with chronic kidney disease. This population has a higher prevalence of hospitalization than those without depression. Exercising during dialysis, specifically intra dialytic pedal cycling, as an intervention can improve patients' overall well-being and promote a better quality of life both mentally and physically.

Background: Exercise improves the physical function of people suffering from chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis (HD). Virtual reality is a new type of intradialysis exercise that has a positive impact on physical function. Intradialysis exercise is recommended during the first 2 h, but its safety in the last part of the dialysis session is unknown.

In chronic kidney disease (CKD) toxins accumulate in the muscles and cause fatigue, mental impairment, and muscle dysfunction (cramps). Exercise results in the opening of capillaries thereby increasing blood flow and allowing greater movement of urea and creatinine from the tissues to the vascular compartment and subsequent removal through dialysis. An experimental study of 64 CKD patients (32 each in experimental and control group), six low-intensity intra-dialytic exercises (IDE) were implemented for experimental group using video demonstration at 90 min after initiation of hemodialysis (HD) repeated thrice at an interval of 10 mins.

Chronic wounds and amputations are common in chronic kidney disease patients needing hemodialysis (HD). HD is often complicated by drops in blood pressure (BP) called intra-dialytic hypotension. Whether intra-dialytic hypotension is associated with detectable changes in foot perfusion, a risk factor for wound formation and impaired healing remains unknown.
