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 ...

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 ...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of value-based care (VBC) interventions in slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), as measured by changes in estimated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cystatin C is an emerging biomarker that enhances kidney function assessment accuracy, particularly in hospitalized patients ...
