The equations for estimating kidney function have become very popular in the last decade.
However, the clinical and prognostic meaning of these measures may be very different in …

Objective Determine the relationship of renal function with frailty using different formulas for
estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods Individuals who were 60-years-old or …

A recent report from the Alberta Kidney Disease Network demonstrates that high estimated
glomerular filtration rate is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in both …

The progressive decline of renal function with aging is not inevitable, because it is mainly
due to comorbid conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. However, in the elderly …

Aims There is uncertainty about which estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR equation to
use in older people with respect to the prediction of prognosis. Our aim was:(i) to compare …

Background Kidney function declines considerably with age, but little is known about its
clinical significance in the oldest-old. Objectives To study the association between reduced …

Background: Few studies have addressed the link between minor renal dysfunction and
mortality in the elderly. Aim: To compare three equations for estimated GFR (eGFR) in …

Background The association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and functional status
may change as a function of the equation used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) …

Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) diminishes with age. Kidney function in the
elderly is often assessed by serum creatinine alone, although it is insensitive in this age …

Background Use of serum creatinine to estimate GFR may lead to underestimation of the
association between self-reported frailty and kidney function. Our objectives were to …
