Skeletal muscle size is an important factor in assessing adaptation to exercise training and
detraining, athletic performance, age-associated atrophy and mobility decline, clinical …

This study aimed to assess muscle wasting and risk of protein energy wasting (PEW) in
hemodialysis (HD) patients using an ultrasound (US) imaging method. PEW was identified …

Background Ultrasonographic quantitation of quadriceps muscle mass is increasingly used
for assessment of sarcopenia, but its relationship with frailty in haemodialysis recipients is …

Background The aim of this study is to identify cutoff values for muscle ultrasound (US) to be
used in Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and to define the effect of …

Background: Muscle wasting, observed in patients with end-stage kidney disease and
protein energy wasting (PEW), is associated with increased mortality for those on …

Background Sarcopenia is a common problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and it is
diagnosed by low muscle mass, strength and/or low physical performance. Muscle …

BACKGROUND Point-of-care ultrasound can be used to assess muscle thickness. However,
its reliability has not been fully evaluated. AIM This study aimed to assess the intrarater and …

Due to its low cost and operational simplicity, ultrasound has been used to monitor muscle
thickness in laboratory environments, rehabilitation clinics, and sports clubs. However, it is …

Background Sarcopenia and malnutrition are commonly seen and fundamental indicators of
prognosis and are directly associated with increased mortality in maintenance hemodialysis …

Background Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that is characterized by increased vulnerability to
intrinsic and extrinsic stressors due to decreased biologic reserves. Muscle ultrasound (US) …
