Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) quantifies the volume of plasma filtered by the renal glomeruli per unit time and is widely regarded as the most reliable indicator of kidney function. Traditional ...

A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...

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 ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) quantifies kidney function by measuring plasma clearance of solutes. In children, direct measurement is invasive and impractical, so estimated GFR (eGFR) equations ...

Evolution of systemic therapy from 2015 to 2019 for older patients in the United States with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

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 ...

Doctors use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) scores to measure kidney functioning. African American people typically have higher eGFR scores than people of other ethnicities. People with ...
