BOSTON -- Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning ...

In chronic kidney disease care, the central clinical question is often not the exact glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at a single time point but rather the speed at which kidney function is declining.

Accurate assessment of renal function is critical in the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), influencing surgical planning, systemic therapy eligibility, and clinical trial inclusion. Estimated ...

Barriers to donation may explain why living donor kidney transplantation has been declining. If direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be obtained, the CKD-EPI and FAS ...

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.

In an interview with Renal & Urology News, Christine A. White, MD, MSc, of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, who was not involved in the study, said the research by Dr Shafi and ...

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 ...
