In this issue, Clark and colleagues [1] [1] present data showing a relationship between higher estimated glomerular filtration rate at the start of hemodialysis and mortality. Their results confirm ...
Tsuda, A., et al. (2024) Definition of hyperfiltration taking into account age-related decline in renal function in kidney donor candidates with obesity and glucose tolerance disorder ...
Although Cystatin C, which has a GFR estimating formula, is less likely to be influenced by non-renal determinants, it was found to be dependent on thyroid function and therapies such as ...
Thus, a GFR of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 is actually normal for her age (original GFR 100–55) (age-related loss). Of course, the most important predictor of continued loss of kidney function is albumin.
Background: Use of the serum creatinine concentration, the most widely used marker of kidney function, has been associated with under-reporting of chronic kidney disease and late referral to ...
Estimation of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Cancer Patients: A New Formula for New Drugs Authors: Patrick T. Murray and Mark J. Ratain Authors Info & Affiliations Publication: Journal of Clinical ...
Key takeaways: Older adults may have hyperfiltration with normal glomerular filtration rate calculation. GFR calculation may be more accurate without correcting for body surface area.
