The dialyzer is the core element in the hemodialysis treatment of patients with end-stage
kidney disease (ESKD). During hemodialysis treatment, the dialyzer replaces the function of …

Assessment of muscle mass (MM) or its proxies, lean tissue mass (LTM) or fat-free mass
(FFM), is an integral part of the diagnosis of protein-energy wasting (PEW) and sarcopenia …

Background Patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of
develo** sarcopenia, which can lead to various adverse health outcomes. Although the …

Background Sarcopaenia, defined as a decline in both muscle mass and function, has been
recognized as a major determinant of poor outcome in haemodialysis (HD) patients. It is …

The bioelectrical impedance analysis-measured ratio of extracellular water (ECW) to
intracellular water (ICW) reflects fluid volume and malnutrition. It may be an indicator of …

Background Low muscle mass is related to frailty and increased mortality in older adults.
However, muscle mass is not easily assessed in routine clinical practice. Methods This study …

This study aims to discover the association between serum osteocalcin, the Chinese visceral
adiposity index (CVAI), and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, and their …

Computed tomography (CT)-measured psoas muscle thickness standardized for height
(PMTH) has emerged as a promising predictor of mortality. The study aimed to investigate …

Background In the updated consensus, low muscle strength overtook the role of low muscle
mass, and probable sarcopenia was diagnosed once low muscle strength was detected …

Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is associated with adverse outcomes in hemodialysis
patients. This study compares the simplified creatinine index (SCI) and circulating …
