About this trial

This research study will test whether a 12-week healthy lifestyle program offered through a cardiac rehabilitation center can help lower blood pressure and improve kidney health in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to either routine kidney health education or take part in a program that includes healthy eating guidance, supervised exercise sessions, and wellness coaching. The goal of the study is to determine whether this program can improve blood pressure and other factors linked to worsening kidney disease.
