Abstract

Sarcopenia in chronic kidney disease patients is caused by many factors, of which one is the
uremic toxins, which distinguishes CKD sarcopenia from other sarcopenias. We have reviewed and analyzed
the literature about the effect of uremic toxins on sarcopenia in order to comprehend the pathogenesis of sarcopenia and to find out the references for the treatment strategies of sarcopenia in CKD patients. Here we summarized the recent progresses in the relationship between uremic toxins and CKD sarcopenia, in an attempt to
explore a meaningful research subject and a novel strategy for the treatment of CKD sarcopenia by removal of
uremic toxins.

Key words: Uremic toxin; Sarcopenia; Review
