Use of handgrip strength in the assessment of the muscle function of chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis: a systematic review

Abstract: The analysis indicates that HGS is a useful tool for continuous and systematic assessment of muscle mass related to nutritional status in patients on dialysis. However, it is still necessary to standardize the techniques used for HGS, especially with respect to the position of measurement, the evaluation period, the choice of arm side and the diagnostic criterion.

“…HGS is known to decrease in patients with CKD. Uremic toxins such as β2-microglobulin, deficiency of carnitine, disturbances of electrolyte metabolisms, hemodynamic factors related to dialysis procedure, increased inflammation and acidosis may all cause lower values of HGS in HD patients (5,7). Low values of HGS were found to predict mortality in both nonuremic and uremic patients (15,16).…”

“…Essa associação já era esperada uma vez que a creatinina sérica reflete os estoques de proteína somática e redução nos níveis de creatinina sérica em pacientes em HD sugerem déficit de massa muscular, fato que é agravado na presença de sinais de inflamação 5 . Marcadores inflamatórios mais elevados podem estimular a perda de aminoácidos e consequentemente a perda de proteínas das fibras musculares provocando efeitos adversos sobre a função muscular em pacientes em HD 4,30 . No presente estudo foi observado que o grupo de pacientes com sinais de inflamação teve menor média (18,5±7,2kg) de força muscular quando comparados com o grupo sem sinais de inflamação (22,9±8,9kg).…”
