Estimated glomerular filtration rate in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2010
Plasma creatinine concentration and creatinine-based equations are most commonly used as markers of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The abbreviated MDRD formula is considered the best available formula. Altered renal handling of creatinine, which may occur in the nephrotic syndrome, will invalidate creatinine-based formulas.

The Variability of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Alport Syndrome

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease, 2016
Background: A progressive trajectory toward renal failure is common in patients with Alport syndrome. Genotype-phenotype correlations have been well described; however, the natural history of the trajectory toward renal failure is not well described ...

Prediction of significant estimated glomerular filtration rate decline after renal unit removal to aid in the clinical choice between radical and partial nephrectomy in patients with a renal mass and normal renal function

BJU International, 2019
To develop a clinically applicable predictive model to quantitate the risk of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline to ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2 after radical nephrectomy (RN) to better inform decisions between RN and partial nephrectomy (PN).

Association between serum bilirubin and estimated glomerular filtration rate among elderly persons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. However, few studies have examined the significance of serum bilirubin as a risk factor for the development of CKD in the general Japanese population. The subjects comprised 413 men (mean age:

[Estimating glomerular filtration rate]. [PDF]

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
Almost all laboratories in The Netherlands report an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) whenever a value for plasma creatinine is requested. This formula is based on gender and age, besides the plasma creatinine concentration, and sometimes also a correction for race is applied.

Comparison of the Effects of Telbivudine and Entecavir Treatment on Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

Gut and Liver, 2015
Background/AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during telbivudine (LdT) versus entecavir (ETV) treatment in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus ...

Creatinine Production, Nutrition, and Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimation [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2003
This study examined the validity and clinical implications of the assumption of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) formula that age, gender, race, and BUN account for creatinine production (CP). The relationships of MDRD GFR, CP, and nutrition were examined in 1074 Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Study Wave II patients with ...
