Creatinine has been, is now, and will be for the foreseeable future our easiest way to monitor kidney function. However, the inadequacies and limitations of creatinine as such a marker are well ...

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.

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 staging of chronic kidney disease requires measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As direct GFR measurement is impractical, estimates are used. The MDRD equation was 'Hobson's choice' ...

Nearly a million more Black adults in the United States would have stage 3 chronic kidney disease if the race coefficient were removed from the CKD-EPI equation used to estimate glomerular filtration ...

Comparison of the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in patients of the Emergency Department of the Regional Hospital in Kielce based on GFR estimation according abbreviated MDRD formula or CKD-EPI ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are central to the staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and for the prediction of ...

For many years, the universally used Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI) for estimating kidney disease function has included an adjustment for Black race that resulted ...
