Brief Summary  

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden defined as irreversible kidney injury and has repercussions for other organs, leading to many extrarenal complications. Currently, CKD treatment focuses on its complications, hypertension, diabetes. Underlying mechanism driving CKD like oxidative stress, inflammation remain unaddressed. Yoga targets these factors and control blood pressure, diabetes which is crucial to slowdown CKD progression. Yoga modulates gene expression epigenetically, improves fitness, mental health thereby improving QOL. Effects of lifestyle intervention like yoga which target physical, psychological & molecular aspects of body remain explored in CKD. Our study aims to find effect of yoga on CKD progression by assessing clinical, molecular parameters, urinary exosomal miRNA.

     Objectives:  

1. To determine effect of yoga intervention on CKD progression by assessing clinical parameters (eGFR, proteinuria, RFT’s, BCM) along with QOL in CKD patients.

2. To investigate effect of yoga on markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, CKD metabolic bone disease, kidney injury and adipokines

3. To investigate effect of yoga on expression and methylation pattern of genes involved in CKD and impact on miRNA profile in urinary exosomes

4. To investigate effect of yoga on dysregulated lipids and metabolites in blood by using advanced omics techniques (LC-MS)

 

Methods:

Blood samples for biochemistry, ELISA, PCR, LC-MS. Urine samples for proteinuria estimation and exosome isolation.

Expected Outcome:

Improvement in clinical parameters, biomarkers and normalization of dysregulated genes, miRNA expression along with enhanced QOL and identification of novel

dysregulated lipids and metabolites.
