Abstract

Creatinine (Cr) levels are strongly affected by muscle mass, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure based on serum creatinine (SCr), is often overestimated in patients with sarcopenia. To evaluate the coefficient of determination (R2) between eGFR and the actual measured value, we performed a linear regression analysis of a modified GFR (mGFR: measured Cr clearance × 0.715) and various renal function estimates adjusted for muscle mass in 19 patients with sarcopenia. The eGFR values based on SCr (eGFRcr) were higher than those based on mGFR, although a high R2 (0.704; p < 0.001) was found between these values. There was no deviation between eGFR based on serum cystatin C (eGFRcys) and mGFR, although the R2 value 0.691 was equivalent to that of eGFRcr. In the equation used to calculate eGFRcr not adjusted for body surface area (mL/min), muscle mass parameters obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis were used instead of actual body weight to recalculate the eGFRcr. The R2 between this eGFRcr and mGFR did not improve, although there was less deviation. However, assuming that all patients were female by using female coefficients for all patients, the R2 between eGFRcr-fcc (eGFRcr with female coefficient correction) and mGFR improved and was the highest (0.808) on substitution of appendicular skeletal muscle mass. The correlation between eGFRcr-fcc and mGFR improved over eGFRcys when muscle mass was substituted for body weight in the equation used to estimate eGFR in patients with sarcopenia and sex differences were removed.
