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 ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A fully automated artificial intelligence approach predicted post-nephrectomy glomerular filtration rate with comparable accuracy as validated clinical prediction models, according ...

A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...

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 ...

Objectives: To assess the relationship between relative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study Design: This retrospective cohort ...

BACKGROUND: Cadmium is a nephrotoxicant at high exposure levels. Few studies have evaluated the role of cadmium in kidney (unction at low-exposure levels. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the association of ...

GLOMERULAR filtration rate and renal plasma flow may be sharply reduced in patients with advanced cirrhosis. 1–4 Reduction of glomerular filtration and deficient urine volume in these patients is ...

Risk for progression to composite outcome did not differ across age groups for patients with MCD, FSGS, and MN.
