Agreement between the EWGSOP2 and SDOC consensuses for sarcopenia in patients receiving hemodialysis: Findings of a cross sectional analysis from the SARC‐HD study Open
Background Differences in definitions and operational diagnoses for sarcopenia create difficulties in understanding the epidemiology of the disease. We examined the prevalences of sarcopenia using the revised European Working Group on Sarc…

The role of osteopontin and osteocyte-derived factors in secondary hyperparathyroidism-induced myopathy Open
Muscle weakness is a common symptom in CKD patients, and the pathway by which secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) affects muscle function is unknown. Osteopontin (OPN), a bone matrix protein stimulated by PTH and phosphate, has been assoc…

Myosteatosis and not low muscle mass is associated with lower survival in kidney transplant recipients Open
Background Myosteatosis, that is muscle fat infiltration, is an important marker of muscle quality, affecting quality of life and survival in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the connection between myosteatosis, skeleta…
