The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the principal index of kidney function, connoting the volume of plasma cleared by the glomerular capillaries per unit time. Precise measurement of GFR via ...

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 ...

A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account. Annual health checkups regularly include ...

Evolution of systemic therapy from 2015 to 2019 for older patients in the United States with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) and exposure-response (ER) analysis of pertuzumab (P) in patients (pts) with HER2-positive metastatic gastroesophageal junction and gastric cancer (mGEJC/GC). Selection of the ...

(HealthDay)—The chronic kidney disease (CKD) Epidemiology Consortium estimated glomerular filtration rate cystatin C (eGFRcys), the only guideline-recommended equation that does not require race, ...

Iptacopan significantly slowed kidney decline in a phase III trial ...

Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

Doctors use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) scores to measure kidney functioning. African American people typically have higher eGFR scores than people of other ethnicities. People with ...
