| Abstract | Background Sarcopenia is a common problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and it is diagnosed by low muscle mass, strength and/or low physical performance. Muscle ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive portable tool that might be used for assessment of muscle mass. The aim of the current study was to investigate the concordance between muscle US and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in diagnosis of sarcopenia in HD patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 41 HD patients. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). The skeletal mass index was measured by BIA and the muscle strength was measured by handgrip strength. Muscle US was used to measure cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness of quadriceps and biceps muscles. Results The current study included 41 patients on HD (25 males), with a mean (SD) age of 44.18 (13.11) years and a median HD duration of 48 months. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 58.5% of the patients. Patients with sarcopenia had significantly lower quadriceps muscle CSA than those without sarcopenia. The optimal cut-offs of quadriceps muscle CSA for both males and females for the diagnosis of sarcopenia were 2.96 and 2.92 cm2, respectively. Conclusion Sarcopenia is prevalent among Egyptian HD patients. US on quadriceps muscle CSA could be used for diagnosis of sarcopenia in these patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
