Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

A comparison of radiographic and morphometric characteristics and outcomes in T3a pathologically upstaged and non-upstaged renal cell carcinoma. Equation performance for predicted new baseline ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction: The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important indicator of renal function, and its precise measurement is essential for guiding clinical management. However, studies evaluating ...

Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2007;64(6):652-660. Two basic questions remain unanswered: what is the difference in renal function as determined by the MDRD4 equation versus the Cockcroft–Gault equation ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from ...

I recently took a call from a new practitioner. She had an 85-year-old diabetic, non-insulin-dependent female with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The practitioner asked if ...

A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) test is a simple blood test used to assess how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood, which is crucial for overall health. Doctors may ...

After completion of the MDRD study, the investigators received funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the Health Care Financing Administration to conduct ...
