NCT06935786

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if a simple home exercise program can benefit patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. There is also an observational part of the study without an exercise program. The study will record patients' mortality, cardiovascular events, emergency department visits, hospital stays, need for dialysis and 6 minutes walking distance. Also maximal oxygen uptake, quality of life and bone fractures are recorded and blood tests and X-rays analyzed. The prospective observational part of the study will investigate the link between cardiovascular and kidney health as well as exercise capacity and adverse outcomes.
