Sarcopenia diagnosed by ultrasound-assessed quadriceps muscle thickness and handgrip strength predicts mortality in patients on hemodialysis

Background Estimation of muscle mass is a pivotal component in the diagnosis of protein-energy wasting and sarcopenia. While bioimpedance spectroscopy is a widely  accepted technique for the assessment of lean tissue related to the diagnosis of sarcopenia, to date skeletal muscle ultrasound (US) has...

description Background Estimation of muscle mass is a pivotal component in the diagnosis of protein-energy wasting and sarcopenia. While bioimpedance spectroscopy is a widely  accepted technique for the assessment of lean tissue related to the diagnosis of sarcopenia, to date skeletal muscle ultrasound (US) has not gained full acceptance for this purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value for mortality of the indexed thickness of the quadriceps vastus intermedius, as measured by US, compared to lean tissue index as estimated by bioimpedance spectroscopy, both combined with handgrip strength in a group of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Methods The cut-off values for low handgrip strength were

Methods The cut-off values for low handgrip strength were &lt; 27 kg for males and &lt; 16 kg for females. The cut-off value for low lean tissue index was obtained from an age-matched healthy control group, with low lean tissue index being defined as values below the 10th percentile of the distribution of healthy subjects. The cut-off values for low quadriceps vastus intermedius thickness index were &lt; 3.44 mm/m 2 for males and &lt; 3.52 mm/m 2 for females. Results Ultrasound and bioimpedance spectroscopy were performed in 99 patients, and handgrip strength was assessed in 64 patients, all on maintenance HD. After a median follow-up of 28 months (interquartile range 19–41 months) 38 patients died. Lean tissue index was not associated with mortality, while low quadriceps vastus intermedius thickness index and low handgrip strength were associated with an increased hazard of death. In the fully adjusted model, only the combination of low handgrip strength and low quadriceps vastus intermedius thickness index was significantly associated with higher mortality. Conclusion When combined with low handgrip strength, low quadriceps muscle US outperformed low lean tissue index as assessed by bioimpedance spectroscopy in predicting mortality in a cohort of patients on maintenance HD. Ultrasound may be a useful and convenient technique for the assessment of sarcopenia and protein-energy wasting in this patient population.
