Such discrepancies between measured and estimated GFR were observed regardless of an individual’s race, age, or sex. The agreement in chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging between mGFR and eGFR CR was ...

Understanding eGFR and uPCR is vital for managing IgA nephropathy to predict kidney health, guide treatment, and work ...

Background The long-term trajectories of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and their relation to early proteinuria ...

Incorporating β2-microglobulin and β-trace protein filtration markers may improve GFR estimation in patients with solid tumors. Adding the novel endogenous filtration markers β2-microglobulin and ...

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3b or 4 experienced slower decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate 20 months after enrollment in a value-based kidney care program. Objectives ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

In a 60-year-old patient with clinical stage III adenocarcinoma of the lung, treatment with 160 mg of selpercatinib twice daily, in 28-day cycles, led to a rapid decrease in the estimated glomerular ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that even slight abnormalities in kidney function—within the normal ...
