Summary
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the acute effects of whole-body passive heat therapy using far-infrared technology on vascular function, exercise capacity, and renal function in CKD patients. The central hypothesis is that an acute bout of whole-body passive heat therapy will be well-tolerated and lead to acute improvements in large blood vessel (macrovascular) function, small blood vessel (microvascular) function, and exercise capacity without significantly altering markers of acute kidney injury.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | Whole-body Passive Heat Therapy (HT) | The whole-body passive heat therapy (HT) intervention will consist of an acute bout of infrared sauna for 25 minutes at 60°C. Participants will lie supine on a memory foam pad. |
| PROCEDURE | Thermoneutral Control (CON) | Participants will remain in a room temperature environment (22°C) underneath the infrared domes for 25 minutes. |
