A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

French researchers have developed and validated a creatinine-based, race-free equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in people who have received a kidney transplant. It ...

HONG KONG—Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may be an inaccurate measure of kidney function at discharge among patients hospitalized for acute kidney injury (AKI), a new study suggests. A ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A fully automated artificial intelligence approach predicted post-nephrectomy glomerular filtration rate with comparable accuracy as validated clinical prediction models, according ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

New research indicates that substantial discrepancies exist between eGFR and mGFR, which are different assessments of kidney function, even in an individual patient. Results from the study will be ...
