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 ...

Estimating glomerular filtration rate The best known function of the kidneys is plasma filtration—measured by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Many of the kidney's functions are related to GFR ...

In clinical practice the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated from serum creatinine-based equations like the Cockcroft-Gault formula (C&G) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula ...

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.

Individualizing pharmacotherapy in patients with renal impairment: the validity of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula in specific patient populations with a glomerular filtration rate ...

The Cockroft-Gault formula is most commonly used for this purpose in adults, 10 as recommended both by standard texts 1,2 and by the recent FDA guidance document for dose adjustments in renal ...

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 ...
