Abstract
Introduction: Regular physical activities may have effect on the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we aimed to ascertain the changes of serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) following eight weeks of aerobic training in CKD patients. Methods: The CKD patients referred to Zahedan Edalat Clinic and Ali-Ibn Abi Talib hospital in Zahedan city (Iran) were enrolled. Sixty patients aged between 30 and 50 years old were chosen by a random method and assigned into the control and intervention groups (each group constituted 30 people). In this study, aerobic exercises were performed at 50%–80% of the maximal heart rate. Peripheral blood was obtained one day before the beginning of exercise and one day after the end of the intervention. Serum IL-17 level was quantified using a commercial specific ELISA kit. Results: The mean values of IL-17 in CKD patients before and after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise were 1.67 ± 0.403 pg/mL and 1.58 ± 0.170 pg/mL in the intervention group (P value= 0.039) whereas the mean values of IL-17 in the control group before and after the intervention were 1.31 ± 0.529 pg/mL and 1.35 ± 0.505 pg/mL (P value= 0.794).Conclusion: Eight weeks of aerobic training can significantly reduce serum IL-17, an inflammatory marker, in CKD patients.

Summary
Regular physical activities may have effect on the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to ascertain the changes of serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) following eight weeks of aerobic training in CKD patients. Results: The mean values of IL-17 in CKD patients before and after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise were 1.67 ± 0.403 pg/mL and 1.58 ± 0.170 pg/mL in the intervention group (P value= 0.039) whereas the mean values of IL-17 in the control group before and after the intervention were 1.31 ± 0.529 pg/mL and 1.35 ± 0.505 pg/mL (P value= 0.794). Conclusion: Eight weeks of aerobic training can significantly reduce serum IL-17, an inflammatory marker, in CKD patients. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) present with varying degrees of renal insufficiency and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).[1,2] Those progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are characterized with a uremic syndrome associated with a very poor prognosis. Intermittent and low-moderate exercise activities may contribute to an inflammatory balance, immune system regulation, and reducing the level of chronic inflammation.[24,25,26]
