Change of renal function after short-term use of cardioprotective agents in patients with type 2 diabetes is not accurately assessed by the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate: an observational study
BackgroundAfter initiating cardioprotective agents, a fall of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been reported in several studies. Our...

The importance of sampling time in radionuclide measurement of glomerular filtration rate in adults using single blood sample
PurposeIn theory, radionuclide measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using bolus injection and a single blood sample results in GFR values...

Creatinine-based formulas are not ideal to estimate glomerular filtration rate in selected pediatric patients: data from a tertiary pediatric nephrology center
BackgroundEvaluating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remains challenging in pediatrics; new formulas were developed to increase performance of GFR...

Prognostic value of estimated glomerular filtration rate in hospitalised older patients (over 65) with COVID-19: a multicentre, European, observational cohort study
BackgroundThe reduced renal function has prognostic significance in COVID-19 and it has been linked to mortality in the general population. Reduced...

Glomerular filtration rate by different measures and albuminuria are associated with risk of frailty: the Rugao Longitudinal Ageing Study
Background and aimA decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is associated with frailty, but the association between kidney function and...

Polygenic association of glomerular filtration rate decline in world trade center responders
BackgroundThe factors associated with estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) decline in low risk adults remain relatively unknown. We hypothesized...

Estimation of glomerular filtration rate in a pediatric population using non-contrast kidney phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging
BackgroundGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key measure of kidney function but often inaccurately ascertained by serum creatinine and cystatin C...

Impact of race-independent equations on estimating glomerular filtration rate for the assessment of kidney dysfunction in liver disease
BackgroundAltered hemodynamics in liver disease often results in overestimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by creatinine-based GFR...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate in Korean patients exposed to long-term lithium maintenance therapy
BackgroundLithium-induced nephrotoxicity has long been debated. However, it has been rarely explored in Asian populations. The aim of the present...

Predictive factors of glomerular filtration rate loss associated with living kidney donation: a single-center retrospective study
PurposeLiving kidney donors (LKD) partially compensate the initial loss of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a phenomenon known as renal functional...

Prevalence and co-incidence of geriatric syndromes according to glomerular filtration rate in older patients
BackgroundGeriatric syndromes are complex clinical manifestations and significant causes of mortality and morbidity. This study was aimed to...

Glomerular filtration rate in critically ill neonates and children: creatinine-based estimations versus iohexol-based measurements
BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) and augmented renal clearance (ARC), both alterations of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are prevalent in...

Comparison of the prevalence of kidney disease by proteinuria and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate determined using three creatinine-based equations among patients admitted on medical wards of Masaka Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda: a prospective study
BackgroundDespite estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) being the best marker for kidney function, there are no studies in sub-Saharan Africa...
-
Evaluation of risk stratification for acute kidney injury: a comparative analysis of EKFC, 2009 and 2021 CKD-EPI glomerular filtration estimating equations
BackgroundThe adoption of the 2021 CKD-EPIcr equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation provided a race-free eGFR calculation. However,...
