Low Muscle Quality Predicts Creatinine-Based eGFR Overestimation Better than Skeletal Muscle Mass in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Key takeaways

This study looked at 86 adults with kidney disease who were not on dialysis. It found that low muscle quality is a better sign of inaccurate kidney function tests than just low muscle mass. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
