BOSTON -- Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning ...
The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...
Accurate assessment of renal function is critical in the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), influencing surgical planning, systemic therapy eligibility, and clinical trial inclusion. Estimated ...
Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...
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 ...
Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Newer eGFR calculations that do not consider race show a link between kidney function and dementia. Equations ...
To diagnose kidney disease, physicians calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR, as a measure of kidney function. Those calculations factor in a patient’s age, sex and levels of serum ...
Kidney disease is common in adults, and testing for kidney disease is part of routine clinical practice for patients with acute or chronic illness. The initial evaluation includes determination of the ...
