Association between Diabetes Mellitus and chronic kidney disease with Muscle loss and weight loss
Muscle loss / muscle wasting is the condition in which, proteolytic systems for protein degradation are activated, while protein synthesis decreases, thereby resulting in muscle fiber shrinkage. This condition may be due age or might be due some chronic conditions like Diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Extreme muscle wasting often results in weight loss. Such a condition is ...
