The difference between eGFR cystatin and eGFR creatinine reveals information about older adults’ kidney functional status that is somewhat explained by muscle quantity and quality, according to ...

Reference Chen DC, Shlipak MG, Scherzer R, et al. Association of intra-individual differences in estimated GFR by creatinine versus cystatin C with incident heart failure.

In individual patients, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine and/or cystatin C often differs substantially from measured GFR (mGFR), investigators reported in ...

Things get a little more complex from here. Your creatinine level can provide information about your kidney function, but it isn‘t the same thing as your GFR. So, to find out your GFR, your ...

Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a new race-free version of the creatinine-cystatin C GFR equation most closely approximates measured GFR, investigators reported on ...

Nearly 300 adults beginning treatment for cancer had their GFR estimated with the Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance equation to dose their carboplatin chemotherapy.

To evaluate the effectiveness of eGFR using creatinine and cystatin C (eGFR-Cr-Cys) compared with the Cockcroft-Gault equation in determining carboplatin chemotherapy dosing and the incidence of ...

The mean change in eGFR from baseline to week 112 was −10.4 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2 with sparsentan and −12.1 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2 with irbesartan (difference, 1.8 ml per minute per 1 ...
