K
Kenneth Lim
Primary Investigator
Overview
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of home dialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and conventional three times a week dialysis on cardiovascular functional capacity (the parts of your body including the heart, blood vessels, and lungs that move air around your body and helps remove waste products).
All visits will take place in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) lab and Fit Core which are located on the 5th floor of IU University Hospital. Each study visit will take approximately 3 hours. You will be required to also participate in the Musculoskeletal Function, Imaging and Tissue Resource Core (FIT) Core study.
