Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have a high risk of falls, whereas the impairment in balance function and their types in HD compared with non-dialysis dependent (ND) CKD have not been fully evaluated.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the balance function in 91 ND-CKD and 65 HD patients. The participants underwent the timed up-and-go (TUG) test to assess dynamic balance and the length of the center of pressure (CoP) with open eyes or closed eyes to evaluate static balance.
Results
TUG, length of CoP with open eyes, and length of CoP with closed eyes were longer in HD patients compared with those with ND-CKD. Multiple regression analysis showed that dialysis treatment independently affected TUG and length of CoP with open eyes.
Conclusion
The dynamic and static balance functions are impaired in HD patients compared with ND-CKD patients.
