Diseases that reduce the glomerular capillary surface area available for filtration or that alter the intrinsic permeability of the capillary wall reduce the glomerular filtration rate (GFR ...

The unadjusted hazard ratio for those with early initiation of hemodialysis (estimated glomerular filtration rate > 10.5 mL/min per 1.73 m 2) relative to those with late initiation of hemodialysis ...

Researchers identified the most accurate estimate of measured glomerular filtration rate is derived from the lower eGFR between creatinine-based eGFR and cystatin C-based eGFR in older adults ...

FOR many years crcatinine clearance has been used as an estimate of glomerular filtration rate. In 1926 Rehberg 1 first suggested that exogenous creatinine clearance could be used for this purpose ...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a test that’s used to monitor kidney function in people with diabetes. A low GFR may indicate kidney disease.

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.
