Assessing GFR With Proenkephalin [PDF]
In clinical practice, kidney (dys)function is monitored through creatinine-based estimations of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD], Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI]). Creatinine is recognized as a late and insensitive biomarker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Measured GFR as a Confirmatory Test for Estimated GFR [PDF]
Clinical assessment of kidney function is central to the practice of medicine. GFR is widely accepted as the best index of kidney function in health and disease, and accurate values are required for optimal decision making. Estimated GFR based on serum creatinine is now widely reported by clinical laboratories, and in most circumstances, estimated GFR ...

Time-Lapse CSEM Monitoring: Correlating the Anomalous Transverse Resistance with SoPhiH Maps
The CSEM method, which is frequently used as a risk-reduction tool in hydrocarbon exploration, is finally moving to a new frontier: reservoir monitoring and surveillance. In the present work, we present a CSEM time-lapse interpretation workflow.

A longitudinal study of renal function outcomes in a cohort of HIV patients on tenofovir-based antiretroviral therapy in Ashanti region, Ghana [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), an integral component of first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART), is associated with nephrotoxicity, including a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Estimated GFR Associates with Cardiovascular Risk Factors Independently of Measured GFR [PDF]
Estimation of the GFR (eGFR) using creatinine- or cystatin C-based equations is imperfect, especially when the true GFR is normal or near-normal. Modest reductions in eGFR from the normal range variably predict cardiovascular morbidity. If eGFR associates not only with measured GFR (mGFR) but also with cardiovascular risk factors, the effects of these ...
