Abstract :
Objective: The study was conducted to find out the improvement of immune system response post renal transplantation through Aerobic exercise mainly treadmill.Subjects: Thirty patients with renal transplantation were selected randomly and divided into 2 groups with equal numbers. Study group: They were fifteen patients with renal transplantation who received selective physical therapy program (Aerobic exercise) mainly treadmill for two months in addition to medical intervention.Control group: They were also fifteen patients with renal transplantation who did not receive any form of physical therapy intervention program but received medical therapy only. Results Immunoglobulin M (IgM) results showed clinical increase but there was no Statistical significant difference in post treatment IGM in compared to pre treatment after two months of selective physical therapy program (Aerobic exercise mainly treadmill) in Group A (training group) as the p-value was (0.596) while in Group B (control group) there is no significant decrease or deterioration in the Immunoglobulin M (IgM) results after two months without training exercise program as the p-value was (0.177).Conclusion: For renal transplantation patients the selective physical therapy program (Aerobic exercise) mainly treadmill for two months clinical increasing IgM levels.
