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

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
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

Long-term renal function and hypertension in adult survivors of childhood sarcoma [PDF]

, 2018
Aim: Little data is available on long-term renal impairment in survivors from childhood sarcoma. We investigated the prevalence of renal impairment and hypertension after very long-term follow-up in survivors who reached adulthood after treatment for ...

Renal Function - Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2007
Funkcija Bubrega - Procena Brzine Glomerularne Filtracije Brzina glomerularne filtracije (GFR) je široko prihvaćena kao najbolja opšta mera funkcije bubrega. Vodiči američke Nacionalne fondacije za bubreg definišu hroničnu bubrežnu bolest (HBB) bilo sa vrednošću GFR koja je manja od 60 mL/min/1,73 m2 ili sa prisustvom oštećenja bubrega, bez ...

Interpretation of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

The Korean Journal of Medicine, 2023
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) plays an important role in the clinical evaluation of renal function, classification, prognosis prediction, and drug dosing in patients with acute or chronic kidney disease . Estimated GFR (eGFR) is calculated based on endogenous filtration markers, such as creatinine and cystatin C.

Polymorphisms in the heme oxygenase-1 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1b genes and estimated glomerular filtration rate in Brazilian sickle cell anemia patients

Hematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy, 2021
Introduction: Mutations affecting genes involved in oxidative and signaling pathways may be associated with kidney disease in sickle cell anemia. We determined the allele and genotype frequencies of some polymorphisms in the promoter regions of the Heme ...

Liraglutide and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes [PDF]

, 2017
In a randomized, controlled trial that compared liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk who were receiving usual care, we found that liraglutide resulted in lower risks ...

Serum Cystatin C for the diagnosis of acute Kidney Injury in Patients Admitted in the Emergency Department [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) at emergency department (ED) is a challenging issue. Current diagnostic criteria for AKI poorly recognize early renal dysfunction and may cause delayed diagnosis.

Assessment of the Nova StatSensor whole blood point-of-care creatinine analyser for the measurement of kidney function in screening for chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2010
Point-of-care testing for creatinine using a fingerprick sample and resultant estimated glomerular filtration rate has potential for screening for chronic kidney disease in community settings.
