Does Exercising with the Use of Virtual Reality during Haemodialysis Have an Impact on Plasma Levels of Interleukin 1β, Interleukin 6, and Interleukin 8?

Cytokines are a group of fine proteins which play a key role in the regulation of various biological processes, including inflammatory reactions. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 8 (IL-8), are produced in response to various stimuli, in...

description Cytokines are a group of fine proteins which play a key role in the regulation of various biological processes, including inflammatory reactions. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 8 (IL-8), are produced in response to various stimuli, including infections, tissue damage, and oxidative stress. Virtual reality (VR) use during intradialytic exercises improves physical activity. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between exercising regularly with the use of virtual reality during haemodialysis and the levels of selected cytokines (Il-1, Il-6, Il-8). The study and the control groups consisted of end-stage renal disease patients who underwent haemodialysis as a renal replacement treatment. The study group comprised patients subject to haemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy who were to work out with the use of a prototype of the NefroVR system for 20 min when undergoing haemodialysis (HD). Statistical analyses utilised Statistica 13. The conducted research demonstrated that regular exercises with the use of virtual reality might be related to a decrease in inflammation in patients included in the chronic haemodialysis programme. It is key to encourage patients with end-stage renal disease treated with haemodialysis to exercise regularly because of the possibility of their proinflammatory parameters becoming reduced.
