Decreased eGFR

Decreased eGFR is linked with lower handgrip strength in non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients.

“As eGFR decreased, the lean tissue index and HGS significantly decreased.”

Decreased eGFR is linked with a higher risk of lower-extremity dysfunction in humans (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2) (adjusted OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.10-1.78).

“Both decreased (Groups 3 and 4) and elevated (Group 1) eGFR levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of lower-extremity dysfunction (Group 4: adjusted OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.10-1.78”
