This research study will test whether a 12-week healthy lifestyle program offered through a cardiac rehabilitation center can help lower blood pressure and improve kidney health in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to either routine kidney health education or take part in a program that includes healthy eating guidance, supervised exercise sessions, and wellness coaching. The goal of the study is to determine whether this program can improve blood pressure and other factors linked to worsening kidney disease.
This single-site randomized controlled trial will evaluate the blood pressure and kidney effects of a 12-week structured, cardiac rehabilitation-based lifestyle intervention in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease. Participants will be randomized to usual care or a multi-component, cardiac rehabilitation center-based lifestyle intervention, including diet modification, supervised exercise, and wellness counseling. The study aims to determine whether the intervention improves systolic blood pressure and related determinants of chronic kidney disease progression.
