Intradialytic resistance training: an effective and easy-to-execute strategy
Castro,Antônio Paulo André de; Barbosa,Sergio Ribeiro; Mansur,Henrique Novais; Ezequiel,Danielle Guedes Andrade; Costa,Mônica BarrosAbstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) alters the morphology and function of skeletal muscles, thereby decreasing patient physical capacity (PC) and quality of life (QoL). Intradialytic resistance training (IRT) is a pragmatic tool used to attenuate these complications. However, IRT has not been strongly adopted in nephrology care centers. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a low-cost, easy-to...
Weight loss improves renal hemodynamics in patients with metabolic syndrome
Ezequiel,Danielle Guedes Andrade; Costa,Monica Barros; Chaoubah,Alfredo; Paula,Rogerio Baumgratz deOBJECTIVE: We investigated the impact of weight loss on urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and creatinine clearance in obese patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Thirty-five obese patients undertook a 12-week calorie-restricted diet. The patients underwent a metabolic (oral glucose tolerance test, plasma lipids, and uric acid) and renal hemodynamic evaluations (creatinine clearance and urinary albumin excret...
