Obesity and glomerular filtration rate

open access: yesInternational Urology and Nephrology, 2023
Obesity has received considerable attention in general medicine and nephrology over the last few years. This condition increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which are the main risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Glomerular Filtration Rates in Asians [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2018
The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines recommended the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for the classification of CKD, but its accuracy was limited to North American patients with estimated GFR

Novel metabolites to improve glomerular filtration rate estimation

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2023
Introduction: The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is crucial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis and therapy. Various studies have sought to recognize ideal endogenous markers to improve the estimated GFR (eGFR) for clinical practice.

Proenkephalin: A New Biomarker for Glomerular Filtration Rate and Acute Kidney Injury

open access: yesNephron, 2020
Assessment of kidney function is primarily based on urine output and Creatinine (Cr)-based methods to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The latter is confounded as Cr is not exclusively filtered by the kidney and rises relatively late after the ...

The impact of baseline glomerular filtration rate on subsequent changes of glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Higher baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may yield subsequent steeper GFR decline, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, this correlation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the presence or absence of DM ...

Estimating glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine and cystatin C.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2012
BACKGROUND Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease.

Microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate

open access: yesSouth 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.

Glomerular filtration rate abnormalities in sickle cell disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders affecting the β-globin gene, resulting in the polymerization of hemoglobin and subsequent sickling of the red blood cell.
