Low Muscle Quality Predicts Creatinine-Based eGFR Overestimation Better than Skeletal Muscle Mass in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Background/Objectives: Accurate assessment of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFRcr) may be affected by reduced muscle mass, the contribution of muscle characteristics beyond muscle mass remains unclear. This study in...
