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 ...

In study participants, C-reactive protein levels were used to measure inflammatory severity, serum creatinine levels to gauge renal function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Creatinine has been, is now, and will be for the foreseeable future our easiest way to monitor kidney function. However, the inadequacies and limitations of creatinine as such a marker are well ...

Stopping RAS inhibitors after eGFR decline may raise risk of kidney failure and death. Learn more about this new study.

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, ...
