Association between sarcopenia and inflammation in non-geriatric patients with chronic kidney disease: a comparison of hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients
Abstract Background Sarcopenia is an increasingly recognized complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributing to impaired physical function and higher mortality. While most evidence derives from elderly populations, its frequency and inflammatory correlates in younger adults remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with inflammatory markers in a non-geriatric CKD cohort, including both hemodialysis and non-dialysis patients. Methods This cross- …
