The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

End-of-life care for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients at a large academic center. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2016 Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium. This ...

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 ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

HONG KONG—Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may be an inaccurate measure of kidney function at discharge among patients hospitalized for acute kidney injury (AKI), a new study suggests. A ...

New evidence further confirms that use of the race coefficient when calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Black patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to systematic ...

French researchers have developed and validated a creatinine-based, race-free equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in people who have received a kidney transplant. It ...

New research indicates that substantial discrepancies exist between eGFR and mGFR, which are different assessments of kidney function, even in an individual patient. Results from the study will be ...

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 ...
