<![CDATA[Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition resulting from a decline in the kidneys' ability to maintain bodily balance. In CKD patients, fluid volume overload can lead to edema; specifically, edema is caused by low blood albumin levels. Ankle pump therapy is a non-pharmacological approach used to reduce edema. Objectives To determine the effect of ankle pump therapy on edema levels in chronic kidney disease patients at RSU Diponegoro Dua Satu Klaten. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 60 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Data collection utilized a pitting edema measurement sheet and a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for ankle pump exercises; data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The Wilcoxon test for the 60 respondents yielded a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating that ankle pump therapy reduces edema levels in patients with chronic kidney disease.
