Medically reviewed by Matthew Wosnitzer, MD Key Takeaways An eGFR below 60 ml/min indicates possible kidney disease. High ...

Susceptibility to renal disease after low birth weight (LBW) is thought to be an additional dimension to the Barker hypothesis of prenatal programming of adult diseases (1,2). Inclusion criteria were ...

In individual patients, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine and/or cystatin C often differs substantially from measured GFR (mGFR), investigators reported in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study results were released as nephrologists and others are awaiting the findings of a joint task force of 2 national kidney organizations looking at alternative approaches to estimating ...

Diabetic kidney disease is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, yet current treatments often slow progression sustained improvement in kidney ...

About The Study: Among patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction treated with dapagliflozin in this randomized clinical trial, ...

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 ...
