Exercise testing in healthy haemodialysis patients
1. Little work has been done on the response of regular haemodialysis patients to dynamic exercise. A systematic study of exercise capacity and the underlying mechanisms is of particular importance because these patients are encouraged to return to as normal a way of life as possible. Accordingly, …
