Conditions

Chronic kidney disease

Interventions

Home-based remote ischemic preconditioning group:On top of conventional therapy, patients are instructed to perform remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) at home. The protocol consists of four daily
Control group:Receive only conventional pharmacological treatment and basic management, including dietary control and standard medication, without any EECP or RIPC interventions.
In-hospital enhanced external counterpulsation group:On top of conventional therapy, in-hospital enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is added. The protocol is as follows: one session per day, la
