Objectives In observational studies, handgrip strength (HGS), a prognostic marker for
healthy aging, has been associated with several chronic disease outcomes. The present …

The assessment of nutrition status, sarcopenia, and frailty holds significant relevance in the
context of adult transplantation, as these factors are associated with an unfavorable …

Background Loss of muscle mass is linked with impaired quality of life and an increased risk
of morbidity and premature mortality. Iron is essential for cellular processes such as energy …

Background A potential contributor to fatigue in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) may be
impaired creatine homeostasis. We developed and validated a high-throughput NMR assay …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant reductions in lean body mass
and in the mass of various tissues, including skeletal muscle, which causes fatigue and …

Creatine is a natural nitrogenous organic acid that is integral to energy metabolism and
crucial for proper cell functioning. The kidneys are involved in the first step of creatine …

Background Although handgrip strength is associated with all-cause mortality in patients
with chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether this relationship is dose-related is unknown …

Purpose We aim to establish diagnostic thresholds of sarcopenia and myosteatosis based
on CT measurements, and to validate their prognostic value in a large cohort of kidney …

Objectives To assess the association between kidney function and odds of having low
skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) in Chinese adults on the basis of a community study. Data …

Background Sarcopenia is known to bring about adverse outcomes in elderly populations
and dialysis patients. However, whether it is a risk factor in kidney transplant recipients …
