Brief Summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a permanent abnormality in kidney structure or function that persists for more than 3 months (for example, glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria ≥30 mg/24 hours) and, it effects the 8% to 16% of the population worldwide.In pediatric patients with CKD, exercise capacity begins to decline in stage 3 of the disease and progressively decreases in stage 5, in dialysis and transplant patients (4, 5). Reduction in respiratory muscle strength and six minute walk test (6MWT) is observed in patients with CKD treated with hemodialysis (HD).The aim in present study is to evaluate the relationship between functional capacity and respiratory functions in stage 1-5 pediatric chronic kidney disease patients.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate functional capacity with six minutes walk test (6MWT), respiratory functions with spirometer and the correlation between functional capacity and respiratory functions in pediatric CKD patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6 minute walk testduring the procedure

its a submaximal exercise test. The 6MWT is carried out in a marked 30 meter corridor. Patients are asked to walk as quickly as possible. They can stop whenever they want. The distance walked is recorded in meters. And it is interpreted according to the reference values of healthy children.quicly as possible and the distance will be record in meter.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pulmonary function testduring the procedure

FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF parameters will be eveluated.Patients sit with a clip on their noses. After 3 technically appropriate tests, the best measured values are recorded and compared against reference values.The measurements obtained are recorded as a percentage relative to their ratio to the expected reference values.FEV1, FVC,PEF measurements are recorded as a volume in ml.
