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 ...
Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...
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 ...
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 ...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A fully automated artificial intelligence approach predicted post-nephrectomy glomerular filtration rate with comparable accuracy as validated clinical prediction models, according ...
Objectives: To assess the relationship between relative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study Design: This retrospective cohort ...
In a 60-year-old patient with clinical stage III adenocarcinoma of the lung, treatment with 160 mg of selpercatinib twice daily, in 28-day cycles, led to a rapid decrease in the estimated glomerular ...
