• Intervention
    What are the effects of physical activity interventions on the factors of disease progression and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney diseases?
    • Conclusion
      • Short-term evidence (12 weeks) suggests that resistance exercise training may minimize the catabolic effects of protein restriction in patients over 50 years old with Stage Four to Five chronic kidney disease, not on dialysis when consuming a low-protein diet
      • Limited evidence up to one year also suggests a beneficial effect of low-intensity aerobic exercise on patients' perceived quality of life.
    • Grade: III
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
    What are the effects of physical activity interventions on the factors of disease progression and quality of life in patients with a kidney transplant?
    • Conclusion
      • There is currently minimal evidence suggesting that physical activity and exercise have significant effects on kidney function or body composition in patients after kidney transplantation
      • One randomized controlled trial in patients with a recent kidney tranplant showed that a one-year term of cardiovascular exercise may improve patients' health-related quality of life by decreasing physical limitations.
