Muscle atrophy affects more than 50% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms involved in the muscle atrophy in CKD and search for specific determinants of skeletal muscle mass loss, especially those which are available in everyday medical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the association between appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and anthropometric, body composition, nutritional, inflammatory, metabolic, and kidney function variables in non-dialysis-dependent CKD men.
