A New Equation to Estimate Muscle Mass from Creatinine and Cystatin C

BACKGROUND: With evaluation for physical performance, measuring muscle mass is an important step in detecting sarcopenia. However, there are no methods to estimate muscle mass from blood sampling. METHODS: To develop a new equation to estimate total-body muscle mass with serum creatinine and cystati...
