Low skeletal muscle mass by computerized tomography is associated with increased mortality risk in end-stage kidney disease patients on hemodialysis
Abstract
Background and aims null Skeletal muscle (SM) area, as measured by abdominal CT at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3), has been proposed as a proxy of whole body muscle mass. However, population-specific reference values are lacking. In the present study we aimed at: (1) detecting low SM area on abdominal CT images in patients on hemodialysis by applying cut-offs derived from a group of healthy subjects, and (2) estimating the...
