Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by persistent urine abnormalities, structural
abnormalities or impaired excretory renal function suggestive of a loss of functional …

Since 1957, over 70 equations based on creatinine and/or cystatin C levels have been
developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, whether these equations …

Background: The Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Study (CKiD) equation for children

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 …

In the vast majority of cases, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated using serum
creatinine, which is highly influenced by age, sex, muscle mass, body composition, severe …

Functional renal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen a number of recent advances,
and techniques are now available that can generate quantitative imaging biomarkers with …

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

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best index for kidney function; however, the
applicability of GFR estimating equations in sub-Saharan African populations remains …

Aims Immunosuppressant and kidney function monitoring are crucial for kidney transplant
