Renal rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary process aimed at restoring patients with kidney disease to their maximum level of physical, emotional, and social functioning. It involves exercise and physical activity programs planned with healthcare professionals. Regular exercise can improve energy levels, mood, blood pressure, bone strength, and quality of life for patients with kidney disease.

active and fulfilling lives.
Following your initial diagnosis, you may have
experienced concern about what it means to have kidney
disease. You may have fears about dialysis and the effect these
treatments may have on your physical abilities, employment
prospects and social life.Many
dialysis and transplant patients are fully rehabilitated
with physically active and interesting lives which often
include jobs, sport and varied social activities.
The key for many has been a program of rehabilitation
and physical exercise, planned with the help of renal

What is Rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation is a process which results in the
restoration of an individual to his or her maximum
possible level of function and all-round achievement.
For people with kidney disease, it includes restoration
of well-being, physical performance, emotional stability,
social adjustment and work capacity.
Progress towards rehabilitation is seldom steady and
there is no complete state or final goal in the process.
Your success will depend on many factors including the
stability of your medical condition, your motivation and
desire to learn and your feelings of emotional well-being.
Many people with kidney disease achieve a satisfying
level of rehabilitation and some, over time, progress to
even greater levels of achievement.
