Sarcopenic Obesity in Chronic Kidney Disease: Challenges in Diagnosis Using Different Diagnostic Criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Obesity, muscle impairment (low muscle mass or strength), and sarcopenic obesity are present in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are associated with worse clinical prognosis. However, the various existing definitions for these conditions make the diagnosis variable. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the agreement between diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity and its components in CKD.

Subject and methods

267 patients with CKD were included in the study. We assessed body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and muscle function by handgrip strength (HGS) and adiposity by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fat mass index (FMI), and percentage of FM. Diagnosis of muscle impairment was made by HGS, appendicular lean mass (ALM),
