The Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease and the Risk Involved.

The Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 or Higher and the Risk Involved.

This study explores the risk factors for sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease and the effects of sarcopenia on cardiovascular disease. Treatment of sarcopenia and cardiovascular complications provides a basis for improving the quality of life and survival of patients with chronic kidney disease.

Sarcopeniais a syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle dysfunction. The high incidence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with poor quality of life, cardiovascular events, and increased all-cause mortality. At present, the cause of sarcopenia in patients with CKD is still unclear, and factors such as inflammation, malnutrition, and hormone metabolism disorders may affect the occurrence and development of sarcopenia. This topic explores the risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease and the correlation between sarcopenia and the risk of cardiovascular disease, and provides a basis for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia and cardiovascular complications, with a view to improving the prognosis of CKD patients.
