Irisin is Associated with Urotensin II and Protein Energy Wasting in Hemodialysis Patients

Conclusions: Our results are the first to provide the clinical evidence of the association among irisin, UII, and protein energy wasting. Our results hint that UII and protein energy wasting might inhibit the release or synthesis of irisin from skeletal muscles in HD patients.Kidney Blood Press Res 2016;41:78-85
