Estimation of kidney function is often part of daily clinical practice, mostly done by using the
endogenous glomerular filtration rate (GFR)‐markers creatinine or cystatin C. A …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a major public health problem
worldwide. This article reviews the published evidence of prevalence of CKD in population …

Background The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic
tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The …

Background Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine
are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of …

Purpose To provide recommendations for the management options for patients with small
renal masses (SRMs). Methods By using a literature search and prospectively defined study …

Background: Although the population-level differences between estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) and measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) are well recognized …

Society of Nephrology Influence of Muscle Mass and Physical Activity on Serum and Urinary …

Cystatin C is an endogenous glomerular filtration marker hence its serum level is affected by
the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To study what other factors might affect it blood level we …

BACKGROUND: Serum cystatin C was proposed as a potential replacement for serum
creatinine in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation. We report the development and …

Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for clinical practice, research, and
public health. Appropriate interpretation of estimated GFR (eGFR) requires understanding …
