A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

Major differences between eGFR based on cystatin C compared with creatinine were associated with higher rates for all-cause mortality, CV events and kidney failure for outpatients, according to data ...

Tracking changes in average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time — the eGFR slope — among people enrolled in cardiovascular outcome trials of new treatments is a potentially helpful ...

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 ...

In an analysis of data from a recent clinical trial, researchers found that removing a race-based adjustment in the estimation of individuals’ kidney function had a small but potentially important ...

A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account. Annual health checkups regularly include ...
