慢性腎臟疾病是永久性、漸進性及不可逆性失去功能性腎元的疾病，身體活動量的多寡是影響慢性腎疾病進展的危險因子之一。慢性腎疾病患者的體能隨著疾病的進展而下降，透過增加身體活動量能增進其體能的表現。故慢性腎疾病患者的身體活動量、體能與腎功能之間有著密切的關係。基於國內缺乏關於早期慢性腎疾病患者身體活動的實證文獻及國內關於腎臟保健的教育計畫，仍鼓勵個案運動或活動以達到腎臟保護的效果。因此，本描述性相關性研究之目的是探討早期腎疾病患者身體活動、體能與腎功能的關係。
本研究採立意取樣針對60位早期腎疾病患者進行結構性訪談及體能施測。利用多元迴歸分析結果發現，在肌酸酐的多元回歸分析中，身體活動量、BMI指數、平衡感、柔軟度、肌肉重、收縮壓、及舒張壓七個變項，對腎功能肌酸酐的總變異量達41.2 % 的解釋力，其中以肌肉重對於腎功能的肌酸酐指數具統計意義；在腎絲球過濾率的多元回歸分析中，平衡感、柔軟度 、心跳三個變項，對腎絲球過濾率的總變異量達14.6 % 的解釋力，其中以柔軟度對於腎功能的腎絲球過濾率具統計意義。本研究結果提供了體能在早期慢性腎疾病患者照護上的實證資料，突顯體能對於延緩腎功能惡化的重要性。

Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) is a progression disease. The amount of physical activities has being a risk factor for the diseases progression in CKD. The physical capacity of patients with CKD was decreased gradually with CKD progression. Physical capacity can be enhanced by the advanced physical activities. Because of the apparent deficiency renferences in physical activities and physical capacity for patients with CKD in the early stages in Taiwan, researchers emphasize that exercise and activities have benefits for this population in renal protection education program. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships of physical activity, physical capacity and renal function among patients with chronic kidney disease in early stages.
The design of this study was a retrospective research, sample was selected purposely. Variables were measured by structured questionnaire and physical capacity instrument in sixty patients with CKD in early stages. Data were analyzed by multiple regression. In regression model for Serum creatinine, physical activity, BMI, balance, flexity, muscle mass, blood pressure delivery 41.2 % explanatory power. In the presence of all, muscle mass has significant in statistics. In regression model for glomeruler filtration rate, balance, flexity, muscle, heart rate delivery 14.6 % explanatory power. In the presence of all, flexity has significant in statistics. The findings of this study provided empirical support to the claim that physical capacity affects the care neceaasry for patients with CKD in early stages.
