Cardiopulmonary and metabolic physiology during hemodialysis and inter/intradialytic exercise

This study is the first, to our knowledge, directly compare cardiopulmonary and metabolic physiology during hemodialysis, intradialytic exercise, interdialytic exercise. Hemodialysis was associated with increased respiratory exchange ratio, blunted minute ventilation, impaired O 2 uptake extraction. We also identified a reduced ventilatory response exercise compared Impaired arterial-venous difference hemodialysis partly restored by Despite dysregulated well tolerated.
