The automated reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with outpatient serum creatinine levels is advocated by most nephrological organizations, which is a good thing for patients ...

Serum cystatin C levels are influenced by factors other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a retrospective analysis suggests. Serum concentration of cystatin C has been proposed as a more ...

We compared the levels of serum biomarkers for inflammation and oxidative stress between subjects with normal and mildly reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results: As compared with ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of ...

Body-weight cycling, sometimes referred to as yo-yo dieting, may be harmful to the kidneys for people with type 1 diabetes, ...

Chronic kidney disease has been linked to yo-yo dieting (also known as body-weight cycling) in the general population, which ...

Improve workflow and productivity — when patients arrive for imaging sessions without a current creatinine/eGFR workup, the StatSensor Creatinine POC testing can avoid workflow interruptions and ...

2. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Calculated using serum creatinine, age, sex, and other factors, eGFR provides an estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering waste. An eGFR below ...

Scientist develop new equation for detecting hyperfiltration that incorporates age but not body surface area. Read more!

Adults with type 1 diabetes who partake in weight cycling and repeatedly lose and regain body weight are more likely to develop diabetic kidney disease, researchers reported in The Journal of Clinical ...
