Estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients overdosed with gentamicin
The aim of this study was to compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from serum creatinine (eGFRcrea) and cystatin C (eGFRcys) in patients with elevated serum trough levels of gentamicin before the next planned dose during treatment in ...

Prediction of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Cancer Patients by an Equation for Japanese Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]
Assessment of renal function is important for safe cancer chemotherapy, and eligibility criteria for clinical trials often include creatinine clearance. However, creatinine clearance overestimates glomerular filtration rate, and various new formulae have been proposed to estimate glomerular filtration rate.

Changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with stage 2–4 chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Background and Objective: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard technique used for the treatment of large renal stones ≥ 2 cm. However, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effect of PCNL remains underreported.

Effect of dapagliflozin on proteinuria and the slope of the estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy: A multicenter prospective study [PDF]
Objective The sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin reduces proteinuria and slows the decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Effect of Impaired Fasting Glucose on Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]
Background Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a quantitative indicator assessing the severity of chronic kidney disease. Studies have shown that elevated glucose in prediabetic period increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, but its ...

Estimation of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children with Hemophilia
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is one of the best-performing methods in evaluating kidney function. There are limited data regarding the estimated glomerular filtration rate in children and young adults with hemophilia. The aim of this study was to determine the difference between three commonly used estimated glomerular filtration rate ...
