Maximal Exercise Capacity in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4–5 Patients Transitioning to Renal Replacement Therapy or Continuing Conservative Care: A Longitudinal Follow-Up Study
2021
Kidney & Blood Pressure Research
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with impaired maximal exercise capacity (MEC). However, data are scarce on the development of MEC in CKD stage 4–5 patients transitioning to renal replacement therapy (RRT). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We explored the change in MEC measured in watts (Wlast4) with 2 consecutive maximal bicycle stress ergometry tests in 122 CKD stage 4–5 patients transitioning to dialysis and transplantation in an observational follow-up study.
