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 ...

A team of researchers led by the National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition (NIBIOHN) and Osaka University established a new method to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ...

To determine an individual's kidney function, clinicians evaluate what's known as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with a GFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 being in the normal range. GFR can be ...

In a Norwegian study of the general population, individuals with metabolic syndrome were more likely to have renal hyperfiltration and experience steeper long-term declines in glomerular filtration ...

Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) is a first-in-kind product for point of care assessment of kidney function in patients with normal or impaired renal function The transdermal GFR (tGFR) methodology has ...

Urine and blood test results often become available to patients before their doctors see them, thanks to the online wonders of patient portals. How many of us don’t read the results, relying on our ...

Acute kidney injury - defined as an abrupt decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - is among the top causes of hospitalization during a heat wave. New research published ahead of print in the ...

Q: Each year when I receive results from my yearly blood work I notice that my GFR score keeps going down. This year is the first year that my score dropped below 60, with a score of 57. I am 66 years ...
