Advanced Skeletal Muscle Mass Reduction (Sarcopenia) Secondary to Neuromuscular Disease
We describe a young male patient chronically on a ventilator secondary to decreased mobility from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He had both a tracheostomy for breathing and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for feeding. Using 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion data, we calculated an...
