Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and sarcopenia in patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis

CONCLUSION: Lower serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with sarcopenia independent of traditional risk factors in patients undergoing haemodialysis with suppressed vitamin D activation in the kidney. This finding implies that circulating 25(OH)D may have an important relationship with the skeletal muscle function of patients undergoing haemodialysis, and its measurement may be recommended to identify patients at high risk for sarcopenia among those undergoing haemodialysis.PMID:38310857 | DOI:10.1159/000536582
