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 ...
Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease.
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 ...
New findings raise questions about the reliability of estimated glomerular filtration rate as a basis for clinical decision-making. In individual patients, an estimated glomerular filtration rate ...
Evolution of systemic therapy from 2015 to 2019 for older patients in the United States with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
A recent study found that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) had a poor prognosis based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and high systolic blood pressure in a ...
In an interview with Renal & Urology News, Christine A. White, MD, MSc, of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, who was not involved in the study, said the research by Dr Shafi and ...
