Muscle wasting is common among patients with ESRD, but little is known about differences in muscle mass in persons with CKD before the initiation of dialysis.

Because obesity may be protective in patients with CKD and ESRD, an accurate understanding of how sarcopenia affects its measurement is crucial.
