A groundbreaking web-based percentile tool helps doctors predict early-stage kidney disease by analyzing eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) levels beyond standard thresholds. Simple method ...
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 ...
A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...
To determine an individual's kidney function, clinicians evaluate what's known as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with a GFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 being in the normal range. GFR can be ...
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 ...
A new study published in the Journal American Medical Association showed that patients with an Cystatin C based estimated ...
End-of-life care for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients at a large academic center. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2016 Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium. This ...
Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...
