About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for End Stage Renal Disease

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: On hemodialysis for more than 3 months, on a thrice weekly hemodialysis program; Adequately dialyzed (Kt/V > 1.4). Age > 18 years old. Properly functioning AV Graft Exclusion Criteria: Patients unable to perform exercise due to cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, etc. Pregnant women. Severe unstable underlying disease besides commonly associated with ESRD. Cardiac patients that are stable will be included. Patients hospitalized within the last month prior to the study. Patients will not perform the MRI if contraindication as determined using the VUMC MRI Procedure Screening Form (attached) or prior claustrophobic reaction in an MRI scanner.
