Definition and Characteristics of Hypertension Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease: Epidemiological Data

Exercise and the kidneys: How does renal blood flow behave when measured during exercise?

“…There is compelling scientific evidence for the benefits of regular exercise practice for sedentary, aged, and patient groups as a tool for preventing or improving cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) development (Franczyk et al, 2017 ; Pedersen & Saltin, 2015 ). In the long term, untreated high blood pressure cause elevated intraglomerular pressure impacting glomerular filtration (Franczyk et al, 2017 ). For an adequate prescription of exercise program routines to prevent and improve CKD, aspects like exercise modality, intensity, and volume, must be considered, regardless of the target population.…”
