About this trial
Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) frequently exhibit elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels, which are associated with cardiovascular risks, joint issues, and diminished quality of life (QoL). Aerobic exercise has been shown to improve cardiovascular health and reduce SUA levels in various populations, suggesting potential benefits for HD patients.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of aerobic exercise on serum uric acid (SUA) levels, functional capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: This randomized controlled trial will recruit 32 participants, aged 40-60, undergoing HD. The intervention group (Group A) will participate in a structured 6-week aerobic exercise program, while the control group (Group B) will receive only conventional physical therapy. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included SUA levels, the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF™)
