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 ...

Gauging risks for kidney failure or death in individuals was similar when using measured GFR (reference standard) or estimated GFR based on both filtration markers creatinine and cystatin C combined.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3b or 4 experienced slower decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate 20 months after enrollment in a value-based kidney care program. Objectives ...

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

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 ...
