Summary

Renal replacement therapy is a treatment option for people who have acute or chronic renal failure. A patient with increasing symptoms of renal failure is referred to a dialysis and transplantation center early in the course of progressive kidney disease. Hemodialysis is one of the most widely used dialysis procedures. Muscle cramps are the most common complication experienced by hemodialysis patients that usually develop during and in between hemodialysis therapy. These cramps appear to be the most common reason for the early termination of the hemodialysis session.

\- Research Question: Is there a difference in leg muscle cramps levels between patients undergoing hemodialysis who received intradialytic stretching exercises compared to those patients who do not receive these exercises?

\- Hypothesis: Leg muscle cramp levels are less among patients undergoing hemodialysis who receive intradialytic stretching exercises compared to those patients who do not receive such exercises.
