@anniebelch Thanks for sharing @anniebelch happy kidney week!

Some of my favorite people, @GREXercise ❤️ #KidneyWk

It was a pleasure to join this @goKDIGO @EDTNAERCA session highlighting the key role nurses play in identification & management of common symptoms in #dialysis. An effective MDT approach with patients & nurse leaders at the heart is crucial for better QoL & reduced symptom burden

📢WEBINAR in NOVEMBER 😃 Join us on November 5th 🗓️ (Tuesday), 2024, at ⏰15:00-16:30 CET for a webinar about "Exercise in Chronic Kidney Disease"! 🩺👀 🔗to register: zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@EDTNAERCA and @GREXercise webinar on exercise in CKD Free to everyone live. On-demand available to members.

📢NEW: ASN guidance provides framework with lifestyle as first line therapy and emphasis on multidisciplinary kidney care team for managing obesity in people living with kidney diseases. #KidneyHealth #ObesityManagement 🔗shorturl.at/kOWZZ

🌍 Exciting news! Members of the GREX network were at the @EDTNAERCA International Conference in Athens, Greece from September 21-24 to present the latest research on exercise and chronic kidney disease. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect and share insights! 🇬🇷✨

📢 NEW: "Physical Activity and Exercise in Chronic Kidney Disease" shares consensus statements from the Italian Society of Nephrology. 💪 Regular exercise benefits CKD patients. Enhances physical, cognitive, and overall quality of life. 🔗Read more: shorturl.at/P77k6

📝 NEW: This study identifies risk factors linked to elevated D-dimer levels in hemodialysis patients performing blood-flow restriction (BFR) exercise, highlighting the need for careful screening and monitoring to ensure safety 🔗: shorturl.at/akTAu

“We need to get them moving” @BrettTarca enlightening the room at ANZSN Renal Nutrition Update Day on what we can do to get people living with CKD moving #renalnutrtition @ANZSNasm @GREXercise @RenalNutrition @NephroDietitian

🚨NEW: This study explores the link between daily step count and cardiovascular health markers in the HD population. Findings show higher steps are associated with better heart function (LVEF) and lower fibrosis 🔗shorturl.at/tIt2I

🧐 What is the global prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease? We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 140 studies and found that: 📌 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

This systematic review finds that the evidence overall suggests that full-body resistance exercise is likely to improve grip strength, and timed up and go test and sit to stand test performance, in patients with Stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.

🚨 New: Exercise interventions in CKD are gaining traction, but challenges remain—especially in non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD). This review dives into the benefits, barriers, and strategies to enhance exercise research and practice in CKD. 🌟 🔗: shorturl.at/fv4uw

🔍 Our findings show that the 10-item Physical Function (PF-10) questions of the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire may be a useful physical dysfunction and sarcopenia screening tool in patients on hemodialysis 📌 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38848807/ @JReN_Social @ISRNM_Social @GREXercise

📢NEW: Physical activity is crucial for CKD patients, but access is limited. A review of digital interventions (apps, trackers) shows high acceptability but mixed health outcomes. More research needed. #CKD #DigitalHealth shorturl.at/q9nWM

1/ 🚨 📢Hey #NephTwitter, today we will discuss an RCT on #hemodialysis (HD) patients 👉Let’s begin with a poll: do cognitive and physical training programs improve the functional capacity in patients on HD?

✅NEW: Study in Indonesia, shows that 12 weeks of intradialytic aerobic exercise significantly improves dialysis adequacy and quality of life in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis - adding to literature 🧘‍♀️🚲 🔗: shorturl.at/9ijmv

Delighted to share findings from #CHERISH study at #UKKW2024 on 13th June at 13:00, collaborative work between @UHBRenalTXTeam @uhbtrust and @UBSportExR, funded by @Kidney_Research @DaphneJacksonTr. Look forward to seeing you there @UKKidney @bda_renal @GREXercise @ISRNM_Social !
