Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a disease that has a slow progressive and irreversible decrease in kidney function directly associated with the accumulation of complications. This is divided into 5 stages and the last one is the stage that most highly impacts the quality of life of the people because they must receive a renal replacement therapy for the rest of their lives in order to increase their life expectancy. Additionally, another type of intervention is necessary to increase quality of life, such as physical exercise; however this has not been standardized yet.


Aim: To find in the literature, evidence about the intradialytic physical exercise interventions done on patients with chronic kidney disease. 


Methodology: Pubmed, Science Direct, ElSevier, Springer Link, Scielo databases were searched to retrieve studies using the following keywords: "End-stage kidney disease", "kidney dialysis", "kidney failure", "exercise therapy", "intradialytic exercise", "aerobic exercise", "resistance exercise". 


Results: 88 articles were found but only 9 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, that reported the benefits and characteristics of the exercise. 


Conclusion: The exercise that showed the greatest benefits were combined with aerobic and resistance training, these benefits showed an increase in functionality and independence, quality of life, aerobic capacity, muscle strength, balance and coordination, regulation of blood pressure and decreased symptoms associated with depression.
