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 ...
Credit: Shutterstock. Discordance between serum creatinine-based eGFR and cystatin C-based eGFR is associated with medication-related AEs and death in cancer patients, a study suggests. Discordance ...
A person's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a mainstay for assessing renal function and health, can often substantially differ from that person's actual, directly measured GFR (mGFR), a ...
The use of algorithms that alter patient medical care based on race has fallen under increasing criticism, as race-based medicine has been shown to contribute to healthcare disparities. In response, ...
The new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...
Barriers to donation may explain why living donor kidney transplantation has been declining. If direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be obtained, the CKD-EPI and FAS ...
About The Study: Among patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction treated with dapagliflozin in this randomized clinical trial, ...
A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...
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 ...
