- - Muscle wasting is common in hemodialysis patients, and ultrasonography is an effective way to measure quadriceps muscle thickness, which reflects overall health.
- - A meta-analysis of 15 studies with 1584 Caucasian patients showed significant decreases in quadriceps thickness (QRFT and QVIT) in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy controls.
- - The study concludes that ultrasonography is a reliable method for monitoring muscle health in hemodialysis patients, highlighting the importance of regular assessments to track muscle thickness changes.
