Elderly patients with chronic kidney disease not only suffer from senescence-related muscle strength decline, but also exist muscle attenuation caused by chronic kidney disease. Sarcopenia of this group are more obvious, and falls, incapacity, weakness and death caused by sarcopenia are more prominent. At present, clinicians’ understanding of sarcopenia is still in the aspects of concept popularization and basic research, and there is a lack of practical diagnosis and treatment process and clinical prevention and treatment practice. Starting from the evolution of the definition of sarcopenia, this paper elaborates on the characteristics of sarcopenia in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease, as well as the exercise rehabilitation of sarcopenia in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease, in order to improve the attention and understanding of renal colleagues on sarcopenia in elderly people with chronic kidney disease.
