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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Credit: Shutterstock. Discordance between serum creatinine-based eGFR and cystatin C-based eGFR is associated with medication-related AEs and death in cancer patients, a study suggests. Discordance ...
Use of cystatin C and SGLT2 inhibitors were highlighted in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization's updated clinical practice guideline. In a synopsis of the recently ...
