HOUSTON -- Two commonly used kidney function tests had a large degree of disagreement and were linked with serious health outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a ...

Individual patients may have substantial differences in their eGFRcr and eGFRcys for estimating kidney function, which has prognostic implications.

A mismatch between two common tests for kidney function may indicate a higher risk for kidney failure, heart disease, and death, a new study shows.

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

These findings underscore the limitations of relying on proteinuria alone to assess LN treatment success and demonstrate the clinical utility of biomarker-guided risk stratification.

Thiazolidinediones are medications that reduce blood glucose levels and are now used to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD: defined as long-term damage to the kidneys that reduces their ...
