The Influence Deep Breath and Intradialytic Exercise on Muscle Spasm in Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract

Background

Chronic kidney failure is one of the biggest diseases in Indonesia. Patients with end-stage chronic kidney failure have two alternative management therapies, namely hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. Hemodialysis therapy alone can replace damaged kidney function. Hemodialysis complications can be prevented by means of nonpharmacological therapies deep breath and include intradialytic exercise.
