An observational study in Renal Transplantation, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-11-26.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Observational
The aim of this study was to compare respiratory function, muscle oxygenation, functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, body composition, and frailty in kidney transplant recipients with and without inspiratory muscle weakness.
601 studies on the registry are indexed under Muscle Weakness; 99 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 98 across 144 observational studies indexed under Muscle Weakness.

Kidney transplant recipients will be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
Respiratory muscle strength
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Time frame: 1st day
Respiratory muscle strength
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Time frame: 1st day
Functional capacity
Will be evaluated with 6 minute walk test.
Time frame: 1st day
Peripheral muscle strength
Knee extensor strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer.
Time frame: 1st day
Peripheral muscle strength
Hand grip strength will be measured using grip dynamometer.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced expiratory volume in one second
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Peak expiratory flow
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Peak expiratory flow will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced mid-expiratory flow
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75) will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Body composition
It will be evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis method. Percentage of fat and lean body mass wiil be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Fragility
It will be assessed according to the criteria defined by Fried. The existence of 5 parameters is questioned here. These parameters are as follows: weight loss, weakness, fatigue, slowness, low physical activity. Those with 3 or more of the 5 identified components are classified as fragile.
Time frame: 1st day
