Chronic Kidney Diseases, Sarcopenia
Conditions
Brief summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health priority over the past few decades, affecting 10-12% of the adult population and has received increasing attention. Sarcopenia describes a generalizes degenerative skeletal muscle disorder involving the loss of muscle mass, muscle function and/or physical performance. Indeed, Sarcopenia is a condition with many causes and it can be considered "primary sarcopenia" when no other cause is evident but ageing. While in the clinical practice, it also occurs in patients with chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, which can be considered "secondary sarcopenia". Notably, the occurrence of sarcopenia in CKD patients is not only related with ageing, the accumulation of uremic toxins, inflammation, insulin resistance, malnutrition and oxidative stress also contribute to the muscle depletion. Moreover, sarcopenia increased risk of falls and fractures, impaired ability to perform activities of daily living, disabilities, loss of independence and increased risk of death. Hence, it is of great significance to prevent the occurrence and development of sarcopenia in patients with CKD. The purposes of this project were to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia, further explore the risk factors for sarcopenia and detect the relationship between sarcopenia and outcomes in CKD patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sarcopenia | 1 year | The sarcopenia is defined as: Patients with low strength: handgrip \<28kg for male or \<18kg for female; Or low muscle mass: appendicular skeletal muscle mass/height2 \<7kg/m2 for male or \<5.7kg/m2 for female; Or low performance: 6-metre walk: \<1.0 m/s or 5-time chair stand test: ≥12 s |
| The progression of chronic kidney diseases in CKD patients | 1 year | The progression of chronic kidney disease is defined as: Patients had a 50% or greater decrease in baseline eGFR \<60 ml /min/1.73m2; Or end-stage renal disease (eGFR \<15 ml /min/1.73m2, or initiation of renal replacement therapy) |
| All-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients | 1 year | All-cause mortality is defined as the death due to any reasons. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CVD mortality | 1 year | CVD mortality included cerebrovascular accidents, heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, death caused by malignant arrhythmias, and sudden death. |
| cardiovascular events | 1 year | Cardiovascular events included stroke, myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular events. |
| Rate of participants with hospitalization. | 1 year | Hospitalization for any reason |
| Rate of participants with fall. | 1 year | Rate of participants with fall. |
| Rate of participants with bone fracture. | 1 year | Rate of participants with bone fracture. |
| Change of quality of life | 1 year | The quality of life is assessd by 12-item Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-12) Survey Questionnaire (SF-12) |
| Frailty | 1 year | Frailty is assessed by The FRAIL Scale. The FRAIL Scale consists of five items: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight. The scores range from 0 to 5,with 3 to 5 as frail, 1 to 2 as pre-frail, and 0 as normal. |
