blood test Previous studies have shown that an increased blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is a poor prognostic marker in patients with certain chronic diseases. A relatively high blood urea ...

The usual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) threshold could be applied for predicting patient outcomes based on measured (mGFR ...

A retrospective Swedish study compared measured GFR (mGFR) vs estimated GFR (eGFR) and the risk for important clinical outcomes within individuals.

The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function ...

Understanding your creatinine levels is important for monitoring kidney function. When you go for your yearly check-up, you’ll likely have a routine blood test for creatinine. In some cases, your ...

A person's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a mainstay for assessing renal function and health, can often substantially differ from that person's actual, directly measured GFR (mGFR), a ...

A prospective cohort study found that in patients with chronic kidney disease, large differences in their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on cystatin C vs creatinine were associated with risk ...

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...
