SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Ultrasonographic temporal muscle thickness measurement has
recently emerged as a promising method of nutritional assessment in various conditions; …

Introduction and aim To determine the predictive value of temporal muscle thickness (TMT)
measured by ultrasonography in the diagnosing of moderate to severe malnutrition in …

Abstract Background/Objectives Estimation of muscle mass is an integral part of nutritional
assessment in End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD). In …

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 Estimation of muscle mass is a pivotal component in the diagnosis of protein-
energy wasting and sarcopenia. While bioimpedance spectroscopy is a widely accepted …

Results: During more than 4 years of follow-up, 26 patients (32%) died. In the Kaplan–Meier
curve analyses, lower thigh muscle mass was significantly associated with all-cause and …

Background Poor nutritional status has been associated with worse patient survival in
maintenance hemodialysis patients. Anthropometric values are important nutritional …

Background The muscle quality index (MQI) has proven to be an interesting clinical
measurement in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In clinical practice, its interpretation can be …

INTRODUCTION: Protein-calorie malnutrition is a prevalent disorder in chronic renal failure
(CRF) and a major risk factor for increased mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Although …

Background: The association between ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and mortality may be affected
by the muscle mass or volume status in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, there is an …
