A groundbreaking web-based percentile tool helps doctors predict early-stage kidney disease by analyzing eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) levels beyond standard thresholds. Simple method ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Older adults may have hyperfiltration with normal glomerular filtration rate calculation. GFR calculation may be ...

French researchers have developed and validated a creatinine-based, race-free equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in people who have received a kidney transplant. It ...

In a 60-year-old patient with clinical stage III adenocarcinoma of the lung, treatment with 160 mg of selpercatinib twice daily, in 28-day cycles, led to a rapid decrease in the estimated glomerular ...
