The staging of CKD is based on a blood test called an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which calculates how well ...

and CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equations accounted for an approximate 18% and 16% increase in eGFR. The consequences to this metric inflation were severe. Black ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of ...

If cystatin C is not available, a creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be used to assess patients at risk for CKD. But if it is available, GFR should be estimated ...

Such reporting constitutes de facto screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the validity of eGFR for this purpose has not been appropriately tested. [1,2] eGFR reporting is already ...

Risk stratification by two-dimensional information on eGFR and proteinuria can improve the prediction of progression to ESRD; revision of CKD classification by including albuminuria, particular in ...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) indicates prolonged kidney damage over three months, often undetectable until significant harm occurs. Key risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

The J-shaped relationship between the biomarker and CKD progression was unaffected by age, baseline eGFR, or 24-hour proteinuria. According to Dr Bolignano’s team, urinary marinobufagenin “may ...

According to an important study performed by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), StatSensor Creatinine/eGFR can be effectively used to improve the early detection of CKD and high-risk ...
