Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the accuracy and reliability of using ultrasonography to measure the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris muscle compared to computed tomography in patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease.
  • The prevalence of sarcopenia was found to be 29% based on NIH criteria, with a strong correlation between measurements from both imaging techniques and their association with muscle strength and lean body mass.
  • Ultrasonography was confirmed as a valid and dependable method for evaluating muscle mass in this patient population.
