Association of ultrasound-derived metrics of the quadriceps muscle with protein energy wasting in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter cross-sectional study

Association of ultrasound-derived metrics of the quadriceps muscle with protein energy wasting in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter cross-sectional study

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 using the ISRNM criteria in 351 HD patients. Quadriceps muscle thickness of rectus femoris (RF) and vastus intermedius (VI) mus...
