Aerobic Exercise Capacity In Mild-to-moderate Chronic Kidney Disease Is Maintained Over A 5 Year-period

PURPOSE: A reduced aerobic exercise capacity is a known feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Peak heart rate (peak HR) and hemoglobin level are known determinants of exercise capacity in CKD. Less is known about the change in exercise capacity over time. The purpose was to study the change in aerobic exercise capacity, peakHR and hemoglobin over a 5 year-period in mild-to moderate CKD...
