Latest Perspectives Concerning Renal Rehabilitation for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Renal rehabilitation for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been recently in focus. Its standard concept includes improved physical improvement of exercise tolerance, protein-energy wasting (PEW), and quality of life (QOL). International Society of Nephrology (ISN) conducted broad survey and presented a Global Kidney Health Atlas. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) has conducted the nomenclature to describe CKD and the glossary in scientific publications. As for renal protective effect, some markers include unchanged/decreased creatinine or Cystatin C, reduction rate of urinary protein excretion (>20%), and reduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or eGFRcys reduction rate (>30%).
