It is more accurate than the MDRD Study equation at all levels of renal function, researchers report. PHILADELPHIA— Researchers have developed an equation they believe provides a more accurate way to ...

Even Correctly-Administered NSAIDS Can Cause AKI in Kids A combined creatinine-cystatin C equation has improved performance and accuracy for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (HealthDay ...

The most commonly used formula to calculate eGFR in obese patients with type 2 diabetes underestimates the something, according to UK researchers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool recruited ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The eGFR equation that includes creatinine and cystatin C but not the race coefficient may be preferable to the ...

The new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...

This study found that the recent change to remove race from the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may incorrectly label potential donors who are Black as having chronic kidney ...

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

Leading NMR diagnostics company numares recently published data showing that its novel, multi-marker approach to assess kidney function allowed for a more precise estimation of glomerular filtration ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

The staging of chronic kidney disease requires measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As direct GFR measurement is impractical, estimates are used. The MDRD equation was 'Hobson's choice' ...

It has been reported that eGFR values are associated with an increased morbidity and mortality; however, these previous studies were mainly performed on Western populations using the MDRD equation.
