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 ...

A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...
Kidney disease is common in adults, and testing for kidney disease is part of routine clinical practice for patients with acute or chronic illness. The initial evaluation includes determination of the ...
Impact of UGT1A4, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15 pharmacogenetics on tamoxifen (TAM) metabolism. Comparison of carboplatin dose calculated using eGFR formulae versus 51Cr-EDTA.
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 ...
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 ...
Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney disease. The presence of albumin in the urine is one indicator as is ...
