Adding the measurement of cystatin C to that of serum creatinine to determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improves accuracy, but the effect on detection, staging, and risk ...

About The Study: In the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium, 11% of outpatient participants and 35% of hospitalized patients had a cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate ...

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 ...

Serum creatinine-based eGFR used alone overestimates kidney function and can lead to inaccurate dosing of medications in patients with cancer. Among patients with cancer receiving renally cleared ...

Having a cystatin C-based eGFR value at least 30% lower than creatinine-based eGFR is associated with increased risks of early death, cardiovascular events, and kidney failure requiring replacement ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of these ...

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 ...
