A new equation to estimate the glomerular filtration rate in children, adolescents and young adults.
BACKGROUND A new estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation, designed for isotope dilution mass spectrometry-standardized serum creatinine (Scr), is presented for use in children, adolescent boys and girls and young adults. METHODS The new equation, eGFR = 107.3/(Scr/Q), is based on the concept of normalized Scr: Q is the normalization value and is considered as the Scr concentratio...
متن کاملA New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate in Chinese Elderly Population
BACKGROUND Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used to assess kidney function. Current equations have limited precision and systematically underestimate measured GFR at higher values. OBJECTIVE To develop a new estimating equation for GFR: the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis with separate ...
متن کاملIntroduction of the CKD-EPI equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in a Caucasian population.
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as the presence of kidney damage, albuminuria or a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). A GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) alone is sufficient to diagnose CKD Stages III-V. Recently, the new chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation was introduced. It has been suggested to result in higher estimated glomerular filtr...
متن کاملSERUM CYSTATIN C AS A NEW MARKER OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (GFR)
Cystatin C is a 13 KD basic protein that is a member of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors. The cystatin C gene seems to be a house keeping gene, which is compatible with a stable production rate of cystatin C by most cells. This protein is freely filtered through the glomerulus and almost completely reabsorbed and catabolized by proximal tubular cells. Because of the...
متن کاملEstimated glomerular filtration rate.
The recent article about estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Levey and colleagues (1) is remarkable. The authors suggest that the new equation may still have some bias and especially may have less precision in patients with GFRs greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . This is even more important if the GFR is greater than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . In the paper's Methods section, Levey an...
