Background: detecting chronic kidney disease (CKD) may have important implications for
the management of older and frail people. We aimed at investigating whether clinical setting …

Background: estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at the bedside is important
because renal insufficiency is related to increased mortality and morbidity. A discrepancy …

Estimating the prevalence of renal insufficiency in seniors requiring long-term care.
Background Renal function declines with age, but little is known about the extent of renal …

OBJECTIVE: Many older adults have decreased kidney function. Practitioners should be
informed that no single clinical assessment method is validated in predicting their kidney …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages derived from GFR
estimates using 3 different formulae in a sample of older adults from the community and long …

Aims: To evaluate the quality of bedside estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in
hospitalized elderly patients. Methods: We evaluated common estimators of GFR in 29 …

Purpose Abstract In a daily clinical practice, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is still estimated
on the basis of short MDRD formula, whereas medications' Summaries of Product …

Background Patients often require adjustments to drug doses due to impaired renal function.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using various equations can result in …

Abstract Background: the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) method of renal
function estimation has not been extensively assessed in elderly patients. We needed to …

Background. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best index of kidney function.
Mathematical estimations of GFR, based on serum creatinine (SCr), are a clinically useful …
