Effects of Exercise Training on Hemodialysisinduced Hypotension and Subjective Complaints during Hemodialysis Therapy in Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract

In eight chronic hemodialysis patients, the effects of 7.4�2.6 months of exercise training on hemodialysis-induced hypotension and subjective complaints during hemodialysis therapy were studied. The evaluation was obtained through ( 1 ) comparing the exercise tolerance, dry weight, cardio-thracic ratio, hematocrit level, hemoglobin level, BUN level, serum creatinine level before and after training, ( 2 ) comparing frequency of hemodialysis-induced hypotension, frequency of normal saline infusion during hemodialysis therapy, and subjective complaints during hemodiolysis therapy before and after training. © 1984, Japanese Society of Nephrology.
