Estimated GFR is biased by non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
BACKGROUND Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on either cystatin C or creatinine performs similarly in estimating measured GFR, but associate differently with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. This could be due to confounding by non-GFR-related traits associated with cystatin C and creatinine levels. We investigated non-GFR-related associations between eGFR and two type...
متن کاملMeasured GFR as a confirmatory test for estimated GFR.
Clinical assessment of kidney function is central to the practice of medicine. GFR is widely accepted as the best index of kidney function in health and disease, and accurate values are required for optimal decision making. Estimated GFR based on serum creatinine is now widely reported by clinical laboratories, and in most circumstances, estimated GFR is sufficient for clinical decision making....
متن کاملReduced cystatin C-estimated GFR and increased creatinine-estimated GFR in comparison with iohexol-estimated GFR in a hyperthyroid patient: A case report
INTRODUCTION Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for the evaluation of patients with kidney disease, and for treating patients with drugs that are eliminated from the circulation by the kidneys. Cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine for estimating GFR in several studies. However, studies showing that thyroid function has an impact on cystatin C have ...
متن کاملEstimated GFR and risk of death--is cystatin C useful?
Current estimates suggest that as many as one in six persons in North America have chronic kidney disease,1 a condition that may worsen over time and signal the need for continuous monitoring. Knowing which patient with chronic kidney disease is at risk for end-stage kidney disease or death could tell us who needs intensive monitoring or intervention. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the c...
متن کاملArticle Estimated GFR and Fracture Risk: A Population-Based Study
Design, setting, participants, & measurements This study identified 1,815,943 community-dwelling adults who had at least one outpatient serum creatinine measurement between 2002 and 2008. Patients with eGFR ,15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and those who required dialysis were excluded. Incident fractures of the hip, wrist, and vertebrae were identified using diagnostic and procedure codes. Poisson regres...
