I recently took a call from a new practitioner. She had an 85-year-old diabetic, non-insulin-dependent female with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The practitioner asked if ...

Chronic kidney diseases affect more than 10% of the world’s population, and most cases arise from disorders of the kidney’s filtration barrier, which is located within a million microvascular units ...

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 ...

Objectives: To assess the relationship between relative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study Design: This retrospective cohort ...

The kidneys are vital organs that sustain life by filtering the blood and producing urine. This filtration process takes ...

A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

Susceptibility to renal disease after low birth weight (LBW) is thought to be an additional dimension to the Barker hypothesis of prenatal programming of adult diseases (1,2). Inclusion criteria were ...
