What this study is about

Researchers are testing if regular handgrip exercise performed at home can improve blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The trial also aims to understand why blood pressure increases during exercise in these patients. Participants will perform the exercise training at home for 8 weeks.
