Purpose: This study was conducted to findout the improvement of immune system response post renal transplantation through Aerobic exercise mainly treadmill. Subjects thirty subjects with renal transplantation were selected randomly and divided into 2 groups with equal numbers .Group A(study) group included fifteen patients with renal transplantation who received selective physical therapy program (Aerobic exercise)mainly treadmill for two months in addition to medical intervention. While Group B(Control) group included fifteen patients with renal transplantation who received medical therapy only. Results Immunoglobulin M (IgM) results showed slight increase but was not significant difference in post treatment IgM when 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 difference 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 has positive effect in immune response as evidenced by the slight increasing in IgM levels
