The Relationship between Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in working-aged people. Several studies have suggested that glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was correlated with DR. This is a hospital-based study and the aim of it was to

Differential Associations of Cystatin C Versus Creatinine‐Based Kidney Function With Risks of Cardiovascular Event and Mortality Among South Asian Individuals in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Background South Asian individuals have increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risks. Reliance on creatinine‐ rather than cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) may underestimate the cardiovascular disease risk associated

The association of coronary artery calcium score with glomerular filtration rate and the influence of sex, age, blood pressure, and cholesterol [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease puts an individual at a higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death. Coronary artery calcium score reflects the accumulation of calcium in the walls of the coronary arteries and a higher coronary artery calcium score is ...

Development of an estimated glomerular filtration rate formula in cats [PDF]
BackgroundEstimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) formulas are routinely used in human patients to provide a more accurate evaluation of GFR compared to serum creatinine concentration alone. Similar formulas do not exist for cats.ObjectivesTo validate a prediction formula for eGFR in cats based on adjusting serum creatinine concentration ...

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and the Risk of Cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Community-based reports regarding eGFR and the risk of cancer are conflicting. We here explore plausible links between kidney function and cancer incidence in a large Scandinavian population-based cohort.
