In a new study, Schwartz and colleagues have investigated the best way to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children. Having already improved GFR estimation with the use of creatinine-based ...

A comparison by Selistre et al. of several creatinine-based equations commonly used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) shows that equations developed in adult populations result in ...

A new model that improves estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) could replace seven previously published models as the new standard of care for calculating the dose of platinum-based ...

Credit: Shutterstock Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate in patients with cancer is crucial to determine drug eligibility and dosing, while balancing the risks for undertreatment and ...

Incorporating β2-microglobulin and β-trace protein filtration markers may improve GFR estimation in patients with solid tumors. Adding the novel endogenous filtration markers β2-microglobulin and ...

The inclusion of race in equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has become controversial. Alternative equations that can be used to achieve similar accuracy without the use of race ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Discrepancies between eGFR and measured GFR suggest that measured GFR may be the superior calculator for ...

The use of algorithms that alter patient medical care based on race has fallen under increasing criticism, as race-based medicine has been shown to contribute to healthcare disparities. In response, ...
