Creatinine has been, is now, and will be for the foreseeable future our easiest way to monitor kidney function. However, the inadequacies and limitations of creatinine as such a marker are well ...

A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.

Nearly a million more Black adults in the United States would have stage 3 chronic kidney disease if the race coefficient were removed from the CKD-EPI equation used to estimate glomerular filtration ...

Accurate kidney function assessment is a crucial consideration when prescribing a patient's anticancer therapy regimen. Many Black patients would lose eligibility for anticancer medications or have a ...

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Comparison of the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in patients of the Emergency Department of the Regional Hospital in Kielce based on GFR estimation according abbreviated MDRD formula or CKD-EPI ...
