This study is measuring leg muscle strength in people with chronic kidney disease who receive hemodialysis. Researchers want to create reference ranges — or normal standards — for how strong the hip and leg muscles should be in this patient population. Right now, doctors don't have reliable standards to compare against, which makes it harder to spot when patients are losing dangerous amounts of muscle.
People on dialysis often lose muscle mass, which makes everyday activities like walking and standing up from a chair much harder and can increase the risk of serious health problems. By establishing what normal leg strength looks like for dialysis patients, doctors will be able to better identify who needs help strengthening their muscles and potentially improve their health and quality of life.

You would visit a dialysis center in Spain and have your leg and hip muscle strength measured using a hand-held device during or around your regular dialysis sessions. The researchers will also assess your overall fitness level, muscle size (using ultrasound), walking ability, and quality of life through a series of simple physical tests and questions. The exact number of visits and total time commitment is not specified in the trial details, but testing is designed to fit within your existing dialysis schedule.
