Inverse correlation between plasma 3-chlorotyrosine and pinch strength in chronic kidney disease patients.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 292 people with chronic kidney disease. It found a link between a blood marker of inflammation and low muscle strength. Higher levels of the marker were tied to weaker grip. This shows a connection, not proof of cause. It suggests that inflammation may play a role in muscle loss.
