Abstract:
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for suffering sarcopenia, but there is no unified criteria for diagnosing sarcopenia in CKD patients. It is well known that skeletal muscle mass and function are the key parameters to define sarcopenia based on the consensus published internationally. Recently, the need for the accuracy and applicability of assessment tools has facilitated the development of high-resolution imaging measurement and ultrasound evaluation. Sarcopenia in CKD is underrecognized in China resulting in clinical missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis prevalently. This article reviews the research progress of epidemiology, evaluation, prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in CKD patients.
