Ultrasound-Derived Quadriceps Muscle Measurements Are Independently Associated With Physical Frailty in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) frequently experience functional decline and a high prevalence of physical frailty. Ultrasound-derived muscle assessment enables objective bedside quantification of muscle mass and composition, while circulating biomarkers may provide additional insight into muscle-related physiology. This study examined the association of quadriceps muscle ultrasound measurements and serum biomarkers with physical frailty in HD patients.
