Kidney problems never or rarely announce themselves loudly. There is no sudden pain or obvious warning in the early stages, ...
Kidneys work quietly in the background, filtering waste, balancing fluids, and maintaining chemical stability without demanding attention. But this is until som ...
To determine an individual's kidney function, clinicians evaluate what's known as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with a GFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 being in the normal range. GFR can be ...
A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...
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 ...
Identifying population-based eGFR distributions may help to identify patients at risk for developing chronic kidney disease earlier, according to study data published in Kidney International. More ...
