Summary

This study will compare physical activity levels and physical functioning in patients treated with home dialysis vs. those treated with in-center dialysis. The investigators will first compare prevalent patients, and will also compare the two groups longitudinally in incident patients over the first 18 months of beginning the dialysis treatments. Patients will be tested for physical functioning using standard performance-based testing such as gait speed, chair stand, balance test, as well as self-reported limitations in activities of daily living. The investigators will monitor physical activity using step counters and activity questionnaires. Blood samples will be drawn at each testing time to measure inflammatory markers. A pilot study of home dialysis patients will be done to determine the effects of an independent home-based exercise program on physical functioning and inflammatory markers. For this pilot study, 30 patients will be randomized into exercise intervention and usual care with testing at baseline and again after 3 months of the intervention.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

exercise training

Pilot study of independent home exercise training (walking or cycling exercise plus low level resistance exercise) for 3 months. Patients will be given specific recommendations for type, frequency, duration and progression of their program and will be contacted weekly by study staff to assess progress and evaluation for any problems. This is a 3 month exercise training intervention in 15 subjects (and 15 no-exercise controls).
