“…In a single-center evaluation assessing grip strength and 60-s sit-to-stand test, >50% of children had low physical function via grip strength and 100% of children had low physical function per the sit-to-stand test. 92 The CKiD study reported reduced grip strength in their cohort with a median z score of -0.72 (IQR, −1.39 to 0.11). 93 The values from children with CKD stages 2-5 were significantly lower than those in children with CKD stage 1, and values were associated with CKD vintage, pubertal status, neuropsychiatric comorbidities, need for feeding support, alkali therapy, and hemoglobin levels.…”

Nutrition assessment can be challenging in children with end‐stage organ disease and in those requiring an organ transplant. The effect of poor nutrition status can exert long‐lasting effects on children with end‐stage organ disease requiring transplantation. Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty are conditions that require provision of optimal nutrition to prevent or support the treatment of these conditions. Unfortunately, the literature on the assessment of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in pediatric end‐stage organ disease is scarce, thus leading to confusion on how to effectively identify them. Recently, the addition of a variety of validated nutrition and functional assessment techniques has assisted with appropriate assessment of these conditions. The objective of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the current literature for pediatric assessment of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in the setting of solid organ transplantation and provide practicing nutrition clinicians a solid foundation for learning how to effectively assess these conditions with the current literature available.
