Renal Insufficiency, Chronic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Neurovascular Regulation During Exercise in Humans With Chronic Kidney Disease
The purpose of this study is to find out why patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have poor exercise capacity and to explore what causes an increase in blood pressure during exercise (i.e. increased adrenaline levels, or decreased ability of blood vessels to dilate). This study will also test whether or not regular exercise on a bicycle and/or treatment with 6R-BH4 (Kuvan) pills, or histidine and beta-alanine supplementation improves these measures during exercise. 6R-BH4 is currently FDA-approved for use in patients with certain forms of a disease called phenylketonuria, but it is not currently FDA approved for blood pressure or exercise capacity in people with CKD.
The major problem addressed in this study is to understand mechanisms underlying poor exercise capacity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prior research has found that CKD patients have an exaggerated increase in blood pressure during certain forms of exercise that could contribute to exercise dysfunction as well as cardiovascular disease. This study will test the mechanisms underlying this exaggerated blood pressure response, as well as the potential benefits of simple measures such as exercise training on a stationary bicycle, and treatment with 6R-BH4, a drug that is currently FDA-approved for the treatment of phenylketonuria, but has been shown to have beneficial effects on vascular health in patients with kidney disease. This study will also examine the effects of exercise with histidine and beta-alanine supplementation. Histidine and beta-alanine are two over-the-counter supplements commonly used to enhance sports performance in athletes. Prior to the intervention portion of this study, the researchers will measure how much the vein constricts in response to adrenaline in CKD patients versus controls. The study will also measure muscle pH, and muscle oxygenation during exercise in CKD patients and controls. The intervention portion of the study will test whether aerobic exercise training with and without 6R-BH4, or with and without histidine and beta-alanine supplementation might help muscle pH and adrenaline levels, vascular reactivity, muscle oxygenation, and the exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise in CKD patients. Participants will be randomized using a 2x2 factorial design to exercise training (ET) with 6R-BH4, ET with placebo, stretching (control condition to exercise) with 6R-BH4, and stretching with placebo. Participants will undergo exercise training on a stationary bicycle, or stretching exercises, 3 times per week for 6-14 weeks (depending on availability of the participant). ;
