GREX fosters research & innovation across multiple disciplines to develop strategies to increase physical activity and improve health outcomes in Kidney Disease
It was a pleasure to join this @goKDIGO@EDTNAERCA session highlighting the key role nurses play in identification & management of common symptoms in #dialysis. An effective MDT approach with patients & nurse leaders at the heart is crucial for better QoL & reduced symptom burden
π’NEW: ASN guidance provides framework with lifestyle as first line therapy and emphasis on multidisciplinary kidney care team for managing obesity in people living with kidney diseases. #KidneyHealth#ObesityManagement

π Exciting news! Members of the GREX network were at the @EDTNAERCA International Conference in Athens, Greece from September 21-24 to present the latest research on exercise and chronic kidney disease. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect and share insights! π¬π·β¨
π’ NEW: "Physical Activity and Exercise in Chronic Kidney Disease" shares consensus statements from the Italian Society of Nephrology. πͺ
Regular exercise benefits CKD patients.
Enhances physical, cognitive, and overall quality of life.

This systematic review finds that the evidence overall suggests that full-body resistance exercise is likely to improve grip strength, and timed up and go test and sit to stand test performance, in patients with Stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.
π¨ New: Exercise interventions in CKD are gaining traction, but challenges remainβespecially in non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD). This review dives into the benefits, barriers, and strategies to enhance exercise research and practice in CKD. π

π Our findings show that the 10-item Physical Function (PF-10) questions of the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire may be a useful physical dysfunction and sarcopenia screening tool in patients on hemodialysis

π’NEW: Physical activity is crucial for CKD patients, but access is limited. A review of digital interventions (apps, trackers) shows high acceptability but mixed health outcomes. More research needed. #CKD#DigitalHealthshorturl.at/q9nWM
1/ π¨ π’Hey #NephTwitter, today we will discuss an RCT on #hemodialysis (HD) patients
πLetβs begin with a poll: do cognitive and physical training programs improve the functional capacity in patients on HD?
β NEW: Study in Indonesia, shows that 12 weeks of intradialytic aerobic exercise significantly improves dialysis adequacy and quality of life in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis - adding to literature π§ββοΈπ²
