The Effects of Passive Heat Therapy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

NCT05924919 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Summary

The objective of this proposal is to investigate the acute effects of whole-body passive heat therapy using far-infrared technology on vascular function, exercise capacity, and renal function in CKD patients. The central hypothesis is that an acute bout of whole-body passive heat therapy will be well-tolerated and lead to acute improvements in large blood vessel (macrovascular) function, small blood vessel (microvascular) function, and exercise capacity without significantly altering markers of acute kidney injury.

Conditions

  • Renal Insufficiency, Chronic

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Whole-body Passive Heat Therapy (HT)

The whole-body passive heat therapy (HT) intervention will consist of an acute bout of infrared sauna for 25 minutes at 60°C. Participants will lie supine on a memory foam pad.

PROCEDURE

Thermoneutral Control (CON)

Participants will remain in a room temperature environment (22°C) underneath the infrared domes for 25 minutes.
