This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a personalized physical exercise program can help people with advanced kidney disease (stages 4–5) improve their strength, reduce their risk of hospitalization and heart problems, and live better lives. Researchers know that people with advanced kidney disease often become physically weak and frail, which makes their outcomes worse even after they start dialysis or get a kidney transplant. This trial will compare people who receive structured exercise education and support to people who receive standard care alone.
People with advanced kidney disease face a much higher risk of serious complications, hospitalization, and early death. Physical weakness and frailty are common in this group, but simple exercise programs have shown promise in improving outcomes. This trial exists to find out whether teaching patients a personalized exercise program can help them stay stronger and healthier, and to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from dialysis or transplant.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either receive a personalized exercise education program or to continue with your standard kidney disease care. The exercise group will work with trainers who design a program tailored to your abilities and help you stick with it over time. All participants will have their physical strength, mental health, and overall well-being measured at the start and during follow-up visits, and the researchers will track your health outcomes—including hospitalizations, heart problems, and kidney function changes—over months to years.
