Determinants of Muscle Strength in Chronic Kidney Disease

Overview

Aim of this study is to determine in chronic kidney disease patients: * the involvement of malnutrition inflammation and atherogenesis syndrome (increase in C reactive protein and decrease in serum albumin) on voluntary muscle strength impairment * the relationship between voluntary muscle strength and muscle mass * the relationship between voluntary muscle strength and lean body mass * the correlation between voluntary muscle strength and physical activity

Aim of this study is to determine in chronic kidney disease patients: * the involvement of malnutrition inflammation and atherogenesis syndrome (increase in C reactive protein and decrease in serum albumin) on voluntary muscle strength impairment (estimated by handheld dynamometer) * the relationship between voluntary muscle strength and muscle mass (estimated by creatinine index) * the relationship between voluntary muscle strength and lean body mass (estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis) * the correlation between voluntary muscle strength and physical activity (the physical activity being estimated by the "Voorrips" score questionnaire)
