Article February 28, 2014

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is recognized as a major health problem reflecting the growing elderly population and increasing numbers of patients with diabetes and hypertension. Medical researches confronted with mana-gement of complex medical problems that are unique to patie-nts with chronic renal impairment and renal dialysis where pati-ents suffer from hypocalcemia that subjected them to oste-oporosis. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two different intensities of aerobic exercises on bone mass density in patients on haemodialysis.
