Critical analysis of the estimated glomerular filtration rate. [PDF]
J Bras NefrolAbstract Kidney function is primarily assessed through glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with serum creatinine being the most commonly used marker in clinical practice. However, creatinine levels can be influenced by factors such as age, sex, muscle mass, and diet, which may affect the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR).

Prediction of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Cancer Patients by an Equation for Japanese Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2013 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.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]
Annals of Internal Medicine, 2007 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 and 86.5 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 , respectively. The low precision of the MDRD Study equation, when GFR is normal, is also linked to the precision of the creatinine assay and to the biological variation of creatinine. This assertion is true for all creatinine-based equations.

Estimation of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children with Hemophilia
Acta clinica Croatica, 2022 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 ...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is
