The most commonly used formula to calculate eGFR in obese patients with type 2 diabetes underestimates the something, according to UK researchers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool recruited ...

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) As a paper published today in NDT [1] has now shown, there are clear scientific findings on how to calculate GFR optimally for best possible precision. PARMA, ITALY, June 9, ...

The staging of chronic kidney disease requires measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As direct GFR measurement is impractical, estimates are used. The MDRD equation was 'Hobson's choice' ...

A recent Lancet report has indicted that 10% of the world population suffers from some form of kidney disease.(1 ) . The simplest tool to measure and track kidney function is by GFR calculation using ...
