It is more accurate than the MDRD Study equation at all levels of renal function, researchers report. PHILADELPHIA— Researchers have developed an equation they believe provides a more accurate way to ...
A newly developed equation produces more accurate estimates of the glomerular filtration rate, a key indicator of kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease, according to new research. A ...
Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2007;64(6):652-660. Two basic questions remain unanswered: what is the difference in renal function as determined by the MDRD4 equation versus the Cockcroft–Gault equation ...
The staging of chronic kidney disease requires measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As direct GFR measurement is impractical, estimates are used. The MDRD equation was 'Hobson's choice' ...
A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...
In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Takimoto et al 8 report the results of a phase I and pharmacokinetic study of oxaliplatin in 37 adult cancer patients with renal impairment. This ...
It has been reported that eGFR values are associated with an increased morbidity and mortality; however, these previous studies were mainly performed on Western populations using the MDRD equation.
A worldwide movement is underway to oblige laboratories to provide an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) whenever serum creatinine concentration is measured at the request of a physician. We ...
The most commonly used formula to calculate eGFR in obese patients with type 2 diabetes underestimates the something, according to UK researchers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool recruited ...
Study probes the link in patients with diabetes. Glucose control influences glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and its estimations in patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes, a French study found. Estimation ...
UK researchers are urging a switch to the Cockroft-Gault equation to estimate renal function in patients prescribed the newer oral anticoagulants. They say use of the MDRD calculator – currently used ...
A newly developed equation produces more accurate estimates of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)—a key indicator of kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to ...
