| Abstrakt: | Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to reduced muscle mass and strength in children resulting in a decrease in functional capacity. The objectives of this cross-sectional observational study were to evaluate and compare the functional capacity and muscle strength in children with CKD stage I - V (group A), on dialysis (stage VD) (group B), and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) (group C) in Indian children. Materials and Methods: 60 children, 20 each in groups A, B, and C were enrolled. Children who could not do the tests and transplant recipients within 6 months of transplantation were excluded. Functional capacity and muscle strength were assessed by 6-minute walk distance (SMWD), timed floor-to-stand test (TFTS), and hand grip strength (HGS). Results: The mean age of the group was 12.54 ± 2.96 years. Among groups A, B, and C, the SMWD in meters (465.90 ± 68.85, 381.45 ± 50.88, 509.05 ± 43.37), TFTS in seconds (9.93 ± 1.77, 10.36 ± 1.30, and 7.68 ± 0.76), and HGS in kg were (12.7 ± 3.85, 10.4 ± 3.02, 19.75 ± 4.45), respectively (p < 0.001). Group C had the best physical functional capacity. The SMWD and HGS had a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.658, 0.658, respectively), and TFTS had a negative correlation (r = -0.605) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The mean HGS and TFTS were different between groups A, C, and B, C (p < 0.05) and not between A and B. The SMWT was however different between A, B, and C (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Muscle strength and functional capacity were most impaired in Indian children on hemodialysis and best preserved in KTR. |
