To examine the effect of daily repeated ischemic preconditioning on brachial artery endothelial function (measured as FMD% before and after IRI) during 7 days in patients with chronic kidney disease. We will recruit 20 subjects with chronic kidney disease. The presence of a patent arterio-venous fistula (for dialysis) and peripheral artery occlusive disease (stage Fontaine 3-4) are taken as exclusion criteria. Also patients with pathology of both arms (for example, sclerodermia, dystrophy, rec

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Informed consent Age > 18 years Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 4 or 5)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: -The presence of a patent arterio-venous fistula (for dialysis) -Peripheral artery occlusive disease stage III and IV. Poor peripheral skin vascular can interfere with performance of superficial femoral artery measurements -Simultaneous participation in another interventional study -Impossibility to perform RIPC, due to pathology of both arms (for example, sclerodermia, dystrophy, recent trauma, chronic wounds)
