The age, hemodialysis duration, the occurrence rate of coronary heart disease as well as the NLR of MHD patients with sarcopenia (sarcopenia group) were all higher than those without (non-sarcopenia group); and their serum albumin, hemoglobin, body mass index, grip strength, gait speed and skeletal muscle mass index were lower than those of MHD patients without sarcopenia (P < 0.05), as shown in Table 3. Here, ALB is linked to coronary artery disorder.
