A prospective cohort study found that in patients with chronic kidney disease, large differences in their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on cystatin C vs creatinine were associated with risk ...

We read the global analysis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cirrhosis by Wong et al with great interest.1 Assembling 7040 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Serum creatinine-based eGFR used alone overestimates kidney function and can lead to inaccurate dosing of medications in patients with cancer. Among patients with cancer receiving renally cleared ...

A study of more than 82,000 older adults receiving outpatient measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) found that measuring eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C levels ...

A person's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a mainstay for assessing renal function and health, can often substantially differ from that person's actual, directly measured GFR (mGFR), a ...
