Accelerated muscle wasting still represents a major issue in critically ill patients. However, a key problem in the intensive care unit is the lack of adequate tools for bedside evaluation of muscle mass. Moreover, when acute kidney injury (AKI) coexists, fluid overload and/or rapid fluid shifts due to renal replacement therapies that frequently occur and may interfere with muscle mass assessment. The purpose of this study is to validate muscle ultrasound (US) by a gold standard (muscle CT scan) for the assessment of quadriceps muscle thickness in critically ill patients with AKI.

Abstract
Accelerated muscle wasting still represents a major issue in critically ill patients. However, a key problem in the intensive care unit is the lack of adequate tools for bedside evaluation of muscle mass. Moreover, when acute kidney injury (AKI) coexists, fluid overload and/or rapid fluid shifts due to renal replacement therapies that frequently occur and may interfere with muscle mass assessment. The purpose of this study is to validate muscle ultrasound (US) by a gold standard (muscle CT scan) for the assessment of quadriceps muscle thickness in critically ill patients with AKI.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
