I recently took a call from a new practitioner. She had an 85-year-old diabetic, non-insulin-dependent female with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The practitioner asked if ...
A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account. Annual health checkups regularly include ...
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) test is a simple blood test that measures the kidneys’ ability to filter waste. A doctor may order a GFR test to gauge kidney health. The kidneys are a pair of ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

The American Journal of Managed Care: Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Cystatin C More Accurate for Predicting CVD, Mortality
A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...
