ABSTRACT
Introduction: Sarcopenia is
characterized by loss of strength
and muscle mass. Patients with
diabetes mellitus who are under
hemodialysis treatment show
decreased physical activity and
changes in their food intake, which
also leads to the presence of sarcopenia. On
the other hand, peripheral neuropathy and
peripheral arterial disease commonly appear
as chronic complications of diabetes mellitus.
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study
was carried out in diabetes mellitus patients on
hemodialysis. For the assessment of sarcopenia,
muscle strength, physical performance and
muscle mass percentage were measured. Muscle
strength was calculated with a dynamometer,
while physical performance was evaluated in
seconds by means of a walk test with a stopwatch;
muscle mass percentage was obtained using a
scale with bioelectrical impedance. Sarcopenia
was considered severe when there was low
muscle strength and percentage in addition
to low physical performance. Peripheral
neuropathy was assessed by exploring touch and
pressure sensibility with the Semmes-Weinstein
monofilament test and deep sensibility with a
128 Hz tuning fork. The ankle-brachial index
was the measurement taken for the peripheral
arterial disease classification.
Results: The final
analysis was performed with 33 patients, whose
time on hemodialysis was 3.57 ± 2.56 years. The
prevalence of severe sarcopenia and sarcopenia
was 90.8% and that of pre-sarcopenia was 9%
of all patients. On the other hand, 78.1% were
found to be patients with loss of deep sensibility,
while the percentage of patients with loss of
sensibility to pressure and touch was 54.5%. A
correlation was found between the sarcopenia
parameters and the time of evolution of renal
failure and age.
Conclusion: Sarcopenia occurs,
in its different stages, in practically all diabetes
mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis;
there is a relationship with the patient’s age and
hemodialysis time.
