Background

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the most relevant cause of premature deaths and morbidities. The goal of the World Health Organization is to reduce NCDs by 25% by 2025. Among the complications of NCDs, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) stand out. The physical exercise (E) is a non-pharmacological intervention that suppress the morbidity of CKD and DM. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the moderate aerobic exercise in DM and CKD rats submitted to the nephrotoxicity of the iodinated contrast .

Methods

Wistar rats were divided in groups: SHAM; CKD (nephrectomized animals, 5/6 renal mass); CKD+E (CKD submitted to swimming training, 60 min, 5 days, 4 weeks); aCKD (CKD received meglumine sodium ioxythalamate, contrast medium, 6 mL/kg, iv; once); aCKD+E (aCKD trained as described); Citrate (streptozotocin-STZ vehicle, 0.4 mL; ip; once); Citrate+E (Citrate trained as described); DM (STZ, 60 mg/kg, iv, once); DM+E (DM subjected to E as described); aDM+E (aDM trained as described). Renal function (inulin clearance, serum creatinine and microalbuminuria), hemodynamics (renal vascular flow and resistance) and oxidative profile (urinary peroxides, TBARS, nitric oxide and thiols) were evaluated.

Results

[Figure 1] [Figure 2].

Conclusion

Exercise was confirmed as a non-pharmacological therapy by reducing the progression of CKD and the diabetic kidney disease aggravated by the use of contrast, demonstrating improvement in renal function, renal hemodynamics and oxidative stress.
