The diagnosis of sarcopenia is mainly driven by muscle mass in hemodialysis patients

Sarcopenia is a well-known complication of protein energy wasting in hemodialysis patients. Its diagnosis requires measurements of muscle mass and muscle function. Few studies have reported its prevalence in hemodialysis patients. In this study, we report the prevalence of sarcopenia in this population and evaluate the performance of other parameters for its diagnosis.In this observational cross-sectional study, data from hemodialysis patients...
