The most commonly used formula to calculate eGFR in obese patients with type 2 diabetes underestimates the something, according to UK researchers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool recruited ...

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 ...

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

PenKid is a kidney function biomarker that correlates with gold standard GFR measurements in stable and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Based on penKid, a new formula was developed to estimate the ...

In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

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 ...

Leading NMR diagnostics company numares recently published data showing that its novel, multi-marker approach to assess kidney function allowed for a more precise estimation of glomerular filtration ...

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' ...
