The association between iron deficiency and muscle mass/strength in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
These findings demonstrate that ID is significantly associated with reduced muscle strength in patients on MHD in southwest China. Additionally, ID was significantly associated with muscle mass only in overweight participants. These results provide strong support for the importance of individualized iron-repletion strategies to preserve muscle health in patients on MHD, particularly those who are overweight, although further verification in prospective studies is needed.
