Increasing Mortality in Adults With Diabetes and Low Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Absence of Albuminuria

Diabetes Care, 2018
OBJECTIVE Improved blood pressure control and use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers have altered the clinical presentation or phenotype of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in U.S. adults with diabetes.

Longitudinal Trajectories of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in a European Population of Living Kidney Donors

Transplant International
A living donor (LD) kidney transplant is the best treatment for kidney failure, but LDs safety is paramount. We sought to evaluate our LDs cohort’s longitudinal changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and the risk–benefit profile of intensive blood pressure control amongst nondiabetic patients: a post hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2018
The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01206062) reported reduced cardiovascular events by intensive blood pressure (BP) control amongst hypertensive patients without diabetes.

Renal Function Assessment Gap in Clinical Practice: An Awkward Truth

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2020
Introduction: An accurate assessment of renal function is needed in the majority of clinical settings. Unfortunately, the most used estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) formulas are affected by significant errors in comparison to gold standards ...

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and the Risk of Cancer.

American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2019
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.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and risk of poor outcomes after stroke

European Journal of Neurology, 2019
The relationship of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with complications after stroke has not been fully characterized for the entire clinical spectrum of eGFR and for the fluctuation in eGFR during hospital stay.

Allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the aging kidney: secondary results of a Parkinson’s disease clinical trial

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Background Kidney function declines with age, largely due to chronic low-grade inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated immunomodulatory effects in certain immune-mediated kidney diseases, but their role in preserving renal function ...

The influence of a cooked-fish meal on estimated glomerular filtration rate

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, 2019
Background Ingestion of cooked meat increases circulating blood creatinine concentration due to conversion of creatine during cooking. This may cause falsely low estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Association between circulating tumor necrosis factor-related biomarkers and estimated glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetes

Scientific Reports, 2018
Chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in the development/progression of diabetic kidney disease. The involvement of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related biomarkers [TNFα, progranulin (PGRN), TNF receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2)] and uric acid (UA) in renal

Changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate over time in South African HIV-1-infected patients receiving tenofovir: a retrospective cohort study

Journal of the International AIDS Society, 2017
Introduction: Tenofovir has been associated with decline in kidney function, but in patients with low baseline kidney function, improvements over time have been reported. Additionally, the magnitude and trajectory of estimated glomerular filtration rate (
