ADDUCTOR POLLICIS MUSCLE THICKNESS AS A PREDICTOR OF MUSCLE STRENGTH IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
Muscle mass remains a challenge in the nutritional assessment of hemodialysis (HD) patients. The adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMt) has emerged as a promising marker of muscle mass in the general population. Thus, we aimed to evaluate whether APMt is able to predict handgrip strength (HGS), a...
