Automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate--jumping the gun?
In 2002, the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative recommended the use of an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to detect early kidney disease (1 ). Subsequently, the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) has taken the lead in promoting the use of eGFR. In their recommendations to health professionals (2 ), the NKDEP suggested determining an eGFR, as well as measuring ...
متن کاملThe costs and benefits of automatic estimated glomerular filtration rate reporting.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased over the past two decades. The sensitivity of serum creatinine (sCr) to identify CKD is low. As a result, many healthcare centers report estimated GFR (eGFR) with routine blood work. The aim of this study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of automatic eGFR reporting compared with reporting sCr alone. ...
متن کاملClinical impact of reporting estimated glomerular filtration rates.
When clinicians speak of kidney function, they almost always are talking about the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The kidney has many other functions, however. Most excretory functions are related in some way to glomerular filtration, at least as it is modified by the variable reabsorption of water and some solutes and the addition of yet other solutes via secretion. The kidney also has impo...
متن کاملChronic kidney disease and automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate: revised recommendations.
Since publication of the Australasian Creatinine Consensus Working Group's position statement in 2005, most Australasian laboratories now automatically report an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula) with results of serum creatinine tests in adults. Anecdotal evidence suggests that automatic reporting of eGFR helps to ide...
متن کاملChronic kidney disease and automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate.
The publication of the Australasian Creatinine Consensus Working Group's position statements in 2005 and 2007 resulted in automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with requests for serum creatinine concentration in adults, facilitated the unification of units of measurement for creatinine and eGFR, and promoted the standardisation of assays. New advancements and contin...
