Blood test may spot muscle wasting in dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07586956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test measuring the ratio of two substances (IGF-1 and albumin) can help identify muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis. Researchers will compare the test results to standard muscle assessments in 110 adults. The goal is to find a simpler way to detect this serious complication early.
