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 …

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated in clinical practice from equations based on the
serum concentration of endogenous biomarkers and demographic data. The 2009 …

Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is imprecise at individual level,
due to non-GFR-related serum creatinine determinants, including atypical muscle mass …

The EFLM recommends not to implement the race-free Chronic Kidney Disease
Epidemiology Consortium (CKD-EPI) equation in European laboratories and to keep the …

BACKGROUND Knowledge about a patient's glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is central to the
practice of medicine. It is needed to diagnose and classify chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Importance Kidney function is usually estimated from serum creatinine level, whereas an
alternative glomerular filtration marker (cystatin C level) associates more closely with future …

Background The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated by the serum or plasma
concentration of creatinine and/or cystatin C using equations that include demographic data …

Background Creatinine-based equations are the most used to estimate glomerular filtration
rate (eGFR). The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), the re …

ABSTRACT Background Serum creatinine (SCr), mainly determined by the Jaffe or an
enzymatic method, is the central marker to assess kidney function. Deviations between …

Background Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs is
associated with cardiovascular mortality and kidney disease. This study hypothesizes that …
