Summary

When the literature is examined, it is seen that the extent to which cough strength, grip strength, physical activity level and quality of life levels are affected in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children is not sufficiently clarified. For this reason, this study aimed to reveal impairments in grip strength, cough strength, physical activity, sleep quality or quality of life in children with chronic renal failure compared to healthy children.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease with healthy children and adolescents in terms of grip strength, cough strength, physical activity, sleep quality and quality of life. Participants will be evaluated for these parameters through clinical assessments, questionnaires and measurements. The aim of the study is to understand the health effects of chronic kidney disease and to provide the basis for improvements in the health management of these individuals.
