This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether beetroot juice — a natural supplement rich in nitrates — combined with a short exercise program can help reduce inflammation and improve how well your body functions if you have chronic kidney disease. Half of participants will receive the actual beetroot juice, and half will receive a placebo (plain water) that looks the same, so neither you nor the researchers will know which you're getting. Everyone will then do a gentle 20-minute exercise session to see how the treatment affects your body's response.
Chronic kidney disease often involves harmful inflammation in the body, which can make it harder to exercise and stay active. This medication may help reduce that inflammation naturally, potentially making it easier for you to move around and feel better.

You'll start with a first visit where researchers measure your body, ask about your diet and activity level, and have you walk for 6 minutes to test your fitness. Then you'll receive either beetroot juice or placebo, wait 2 hours, and do a 20-minute exercise session while researchers monitor how you respond. After 2 weeks of not taking anything (a 'washout' period to clear your system), you'll return and do the exact same thing but with the opposite drink — so if you got real juice the first time, you'll get placebo the second time.
