Popis: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. Next to the risk of allograft failure, major obstacles for disease-free survival after kidney transplantation include a higher incidence of cancer, infection and cardiovascular events. Risk factors for adverse clinical outcomes include pre-existent comorbidities, the introduction of an immunodeficient status and (lack of) lifestyle changes after transplantation. Indeed, physical inactivity and poor physical fitness are important targets to address in order to improve clinical outcomes after kidney transplantation. This review summarizes the current evidence on exercise training after kidney transplantation, derived from randomized controlled trials. As much as possible, results are discussed in the perspective of the Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Transplantation core outcomes, which were recently described as critically important outcome domains for trials in kidney transplant recipients. ispartof: CLINICAL KIDNEY JOURNAL vol:14 issue:Suppl 2 pages:15-24 ispartof: location:England status: published
