Loss of kidney filtering units under metabolic and cardiovascular stress led to wasting independent of calorie intake, with muscle loss and frailty-like features.Loss of kidney filtering units under metabolic and cardiovascular stress led to wasting independent of calorie intake, with muscle loss and frailty-like features.
Animal studyKidney
Who was studiedAnimals and older human CKD kidneys
What changedAnimals under metabolic and cardiovascular stress developed wasting, muscle loss, and frailty-like features after losing kidney filtering units
The catchAnimal group sizes are missing, limiting assessment of the wasting results
