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 ...
Evolution of systemic therapy from 2015 to 2019 for older patients in the United States with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
(HealthDay News) — Use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) can expand metformin eligibility, according to a study published in the November issue of ...
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 ...
This study has three key findings. First, although metformin use has increased in the past decade for treatment of the general population with type 2 diabetes, it remains underused among individuals ...
A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...
