Effect of cardiac rehabilitation on the renal function in chronic kidney disease - Analysis using serum cystatin-C based glomerular filtration rate

摘要

BackgroundWhether an individually determined appropriate level of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has a favorable effect on the renal function still remains unclarified. The aim of this study was to confirm the effect of CR on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using cystatin C, which is known to be unaffected by physical exercise.
