A greater proportion of younger adults are at risk under the age-adapted CKD classification system. Switching from the current KDIGO classification system to an age-adapted CKD classification system ...
eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...
Practitioners who measure only urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio may be able to use a new albumin-to-creatinine ratio estimating equation to diagnose and manage kidney disease. Researchers have ...
Estimated GFR based on both creatinine and cystatin C better gauged risks of 8 adverse outcomes compared with using creatinine alone in older adults with nondialysis-dependent CKD. Estimated ...
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) test is a simple blood test that measures how well the kidneys are functioning. A doctor may order a GFR test to gauge kidney health. The kidneys are a pair of ...
Cystatin C is emphasized as a preferred biomarker for accurate GFR measurement in CKD assessment. SGLT2i are recommended for CKD patients, regardless of diabetes status, for kidney and cardiovascular ...
This study found that the recent change to remove race from the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may incorrectly label potential donors who are Black as having chronic kidney ...
Use of cystatin C and SGLT2 inhibitors were highlighted in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization's updated clinical practice guideline. In a synopsis of the recently ...
