Limited value of cystatin-C over estimated glomerular filtration rate for heart failure risk stratification. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundTo compare the prognostic value of estimated glomerular filtration rate, cystatin-C, an alternative renal biomarker, and their combination, in an outpatient population with heart failure.

Comparing methods for glomerular filtration rate estimation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science
Background: The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), estimated from serum creatinine (SCr), is widely used in clinical practice for kidney function assessment, but SCr-based equations are limited by non-GFR determinants and may introduce inaccuracies across

Serum cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2008
Using serum cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has in recent times been recommended. A number of simple formulas for calculating GFR have been derived specifically from serum cystatin C concentrations. The purpose of this study was

Glomerular Filtration Rate Assessment in Children

Children, 2022
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement is a key tool for determining the degree of chronic kidney disease. The assessment of GFR is even more challenging in children than in adults with more variables in the equation than race and sex.

Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at admission is associated with a worse outcome in older patients with hip fracture who undergo surgical treatment

Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra, 2023
Background. We assessed the relationship of estimated glomerular filtration rate values at hospital admission on the outcome of surgically treated older adults who had suffered a hip fracture. Methods.

The Rehberg–Tareev test in assessing the glomerular filtration rate

Терапевтический архив, 2021
The history of glomerular filtration rate assessment is presented, an important step of which was the glomerular filtration rate evaluation by the endogenous creatinine clearance (known as the RehbergTareev test).

Microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate

South African Family Practice, 2012
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the major causes of renal damage and cardiovascular events. The co-existence of these conditions further increases the risk of progressive renal disease, cardiovascular events, and mortality.
