The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of repeated episodes of ischemic quenching on changes in blood pressure, heart rate and laboratory parameters of inflammation in patients with kidney diseases. There is credible evidence that intentionally producing periods of ischemia provides protection of the myocardium and blood vessels against subsequent ischemic injury. The examination will be performed during hospitalization in the Department of Nephrology, Hypertension, Transplantology and Internal Diseases and will last 4 days. On the first day, blood pressure will be measured using an automatic blood pressure monitor, radial artery pulse, blood saturation will be measured using a pulse oximeter, and approximately 6 ml of venous blood will be collected from the elbow bend area for laboratory tests. Then, compression of the lower limb below the knee will be performed using a blood pressure cuff. Four 5-minute cycles of inflation and deflation of the cuff will be performed. The pressure on the lower limb will be repeated on the next two days. On the last day of the examination, blood pressure, heart rate and blood saturation will be measured again, and approximately 6 ml of venous blood will be collected again for laboratory tests.
