Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

The inclusion of race in eGFR calculations may lead to an overestimation of kidney function in Black individuals, potentially delaying necessary diagnosis and treatment for kidney disease. Recent ...

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

A recent Lancet report has indicted that 10% of the world population suffers from some form of kidney disease.(1 ) . The simplest tool to measure and track kidney function is by GFR calculation using ...

A groundbreaking web-based percentile tool helps doctors predict early-stage kidney disease by analyzing eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) levels beyond standard thresholds. Simple method ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Older adults may have hyperfiltration with normal glomerular filtration rate calculation. GFR calculation may be ...

A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is used in the calculation of carboplatin dose. Glomerular filtration rate is measured using a radioisotope method (radionuclide GFR (rGFR)), however, estimation ...
