Brief summary

Most dialysis patients are susceptible to cardiovascular disease (CVD) because of inflammation due to the kidney disease and dialysis. Regular exercise training has been shown to reduce inflammation in healthy people and people with CVD, but as yet it is not known whether exercise can help reduce inflammation in people undertaking dialysis.

Interventions

Exercise training (cycling) for 45 minutes, 3 times per week for 3 months at about 65% maximum.
