Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

The K/DOQI GUIDELINES advocate use of the Cockroft–Gault equation and MDRD EQUATION to predict glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The validity of these equations in the kidney transplant population is ...

The new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...

A comparison of radiographic and morphometric characteristics and outcomes in T3a pathologically upstaged and non-upstaged renal cell carcinoma. Equation performance for predicted new baseline ...

I recently took a call from a new practitioner. She had an 85-year-old diabetic, non-insulin-dependent female with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The practitioner asked if ...

In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Takimoto et al 8 report the results of a phase I and pharmacokinetic study of oxaliplatin in 37 adult cancer patients with renal impairment. This ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

Leading NMR diagnostics company numares recently published data showing that its novel, multi-marker approach to assess kidney function allowed for a more precise estimation of glomerular filtration ...

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 worldwide movement is underway to oblige laboratories to provide an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) whenever serum creatinine concentration is measured at the request of a physician. We ...
