Novel Equations for Estimating Lean Body Mass in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Completed
Conditions
Lean Body Mass
Chronic Kidney Diseases
Registration Number
NCT04074278
Lead Sponsor
Peking University First Hospital
Brief Summary

Simplified methods to estimate lean body mass (LBM), an important nutritional measure representing muscle mass and somatic protein, are lacking in non-dialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective: We developed and tested a reliable equations for estimation of LBM in daily clinical practice.

Detailed Description

Two cross-sectional data sets were derived from outpatients with CKD stage 3-5 in Peking University First Hospital.Two equations for estimating LBM based on midarm muscle circumference (MAMC) or hand grip strength (HGS)were developed and validated in CKD patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as referenced gold method. Demographic data, comorbidity, and other clinical variables were also recorded.
