متن کاملAdductor pollicis muscle thickness as a predictor of handgrip strength in hemodialysis patients.
INTRODUCTION Recently, the adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) has been suggested as a new nutritional marker in several population. OBJECTIVE In view of the scarce data regarding the use of this marker in CKD patients, we aimed to evaluate APMT and its association with nutritional parameters in patients on hemodialysis. METHODS We evaluated 73 hemodialysis patients (52.3 ± 17 years, ...
