Background. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly associated with survival. However,
the prognostic significance of GFR might be different according to the formula used to …

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a predictor of important outcomes and its
reduction has been associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in both general population …

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 …

A multicenter observational study, REPOSI (REgistro POliterapie Società Italiana di
Medicina Interna), was conducted to assess the prognostic value of glomerular filtration rate …

Background. Detection of subjects with early chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important
because some will progress up to stage 5 CKD, and most are at high risk of cardiovascular …

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: 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 The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases with age, and new
glomerular filtration rate-estimating equations have recently been validated. The …

Background New creatinine based equations for estimating glomerular proposed for aged
subjects have not been assessed in their association of reduced eGFR with cardiovascular …

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 …
