Genome-wide association and functional follow-up reveals new loci for kidney function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a genetic component. We performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and stratified for key CKD risk factors. We uncovered 6 new

Hepatitis B and C co-Infection are independent predictors of progressive kidney disease in HIV-positive, antiretroviral-treated adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-positive individuals. Hepatitis C (HCV) co-infection has been associated with increased risk of CKD, but prior studies lack information on potential mechanisms.

Assessment of GFR by four methods in adults in Ashanti, Ghana : the need for an eGFR equation for lean African populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background. Equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have not been validated in Sub-Saharan African populations, and data on GFR are few. Methods.

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.

Clinical and biochemical correlates of serum L-ergothioneine concentrations in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Despite the increasing interest towards the biological role of L-ergothioneine, little is known about the serum concentrations of this unusual aminothiol in older adults. We addressed this issue in a representative sample of communitydwelling

A novel nomogram to predict the reliability of estimated glomerular filtration rate formulae in oncology patients

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2020
Background Formulae of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (Scr) are routinely used in oncology patients, however, they are inaccurate in some populations. Our aim was to assess the agreement of eGFR formulae and thereby

Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 2006
Low glomerular filtration rate predicts cardiovascular disease, end stage renal disease (a requirement for dialysis or transplantation), and death.1 In a population based study reported in this week's issue, Hallan and colleagues describe the yield of different screening strategies aimed at identifying people with low glomerular filtration rates.1 The ...

Post-kidney donation glomerular filtration rate measurement and estimation

open access: yesNefrología (English Edition), 2021
Background: Long-term consequences associated with kidney donation are controversial. Pre- and post-donation glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) are determinants of renal and cardiovascular risk weighting.

Estimating the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Pediatric Patients With Neurogenic Bladder: A Comparison Between Creatinine- and Cystatin C-Equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background and objective Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to their lower muscle mass, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine (Cr) may be overestimated ...

Neural Network-Based Calculator for Rat Glomerular Filtration Rate

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Glomerular filtration is a pivotal process of renal physiology, and its alterations are a central pathological event in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.
