Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. 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 ...

Compared with eGFRcr, a 30% lower eGFRcys was associated with higher rates of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and kidney disease.

Estimated GFR based on both creatinine and cystatin C better gauged risks of 8 adverse outcomes compared with using creatinine alone in older adults with nondialysis-dependent CKD. Estimated ...

A GFR of over 90 is considered normal. But having a GFR of 60 or above may also be considered within the normal range if you do not have other signs of kidney disease. Diabetes is a long-term (chronic ...

Understanding your creatinine levels is important for monitoring kidney function. When you go for your yearly check-up, you’ll likely have a routine blood test for creatinine. In some cases, your ...

When you go for your yearly check-up, you’ll likely have a routine blood test for creatinine. In some cases, your doctor may order a urine creatinine clearance test, as well. High blood creatinine ...
