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 ...

An eGFR below 60 ml/min indicates possible kidney disease. High creatinine levels in the blood can suggest the kidneys are not working well. A urine albumin result higher than 30 mg/gram may be a sign ...

A person's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a mainstay for assessing renal function and health, can often substantially differ from that person's actual, directly measured GFR (mGFR), a ...

Diabetes-related nephropathy is a potential complication of diabetes. Tests to help screen for nephropathy include urine protein tests, imaging tests, kidney biopsy, and glomerular filtration rate. A ...

New findings raise questions about the reliability of estimated glomerular filtration rate as a basis for clinical decision-making. The individual-level difference between mGFR and eGFR is large, ...

Feasibility of integrating geriatric oncology and palliative care assessment into the routine care of older adults in a community setting. Bias and limits of agreement of eGFR equations with respect ...

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 ...

Chronic renal failure (CRF), also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), is categorized into five stages based on how effectively the kidneys function, which is determined through blood and urine ...
