: Bone and mineral disease (BMD) is a prevalent complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The risk of fractures can be assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two imaging modalities in identifying bone mineral status in individuals with pre-dialysis chronic renal disease and to assess their correlation with bone turnover markers.

Background: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme crucial for energy and protein metabolism in muscle cells. Despite this, its association with sarcopenia remains inadequately explored. This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum levels of ALT-related indicators (ALT activity, ALT1, ALT2, and ALT1/ALT2 ratio) and sarcopenia measures, as well as to develop a diagnostic model for sarcopenia in older individuals.
