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 ...

For the past twenty years the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) clinical lab test used to be the gold standard in evaluating “how efficiently a person’s kidneys remove creatinine, a waste ...

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 ...

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 ...

PenKid is a kidney function biomarker that correlates with gold standard GFR measurements in stable and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Based on penKid, a new formula was developed to estimate the ...
