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 ...
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 ...
BOSTON -- Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning ...
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 ...
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' ...
A new equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, shows improved accuracy and precision compared with commonly used equations. The European Kidney Function ...
When investigating predictive biomarkers, beware of the qualitative interaction. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text ...
A recent Lancet report has indicted that 10% of the world population suffers from some form of kidney disease.(1 ) . The simplest tool to measure and track kidney function is by GFR calculation using ...
