Description

Aki Tabata and co-authors study work impairment in kidney patients in a 2024 paper. People with chronic kidney disease often keep working while unwell, a pattern called presenteeism, showing up but functioning below par. Balancing a job against a progressive disease is a daily strain for middle-aged and older workers.

The team assessed thirty-six working patients with stage 3 to 5 disease who were not yet on dialysis. They measured work impairment on a standard scale alongside confidence about exercise, grip strength, walking tests, muscle mass, anemia, and kidney function. Linking physical capacity to on-the-job limits points to supports, from exercise programs to workplace changes, that could keep patients employed longer.
