Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Older People
We aimed at reviewing age-related changes in kidney structure and function, methods for estimating kidney function, and impact of reduced kidney function on geriatric outcomes, as well as the reliability and applicability of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in older patients. CKD is associated with different comorbidities and adverse outcomes such as disability and pre...
متن کاملUsing glomerular filtration rate estimating equations: clinical and laboratory considerations.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations, infrequently used just a decade ago, are now recommended for the evaluation of kidney function for routine clinical care and are routinely reported by the vast majority of clinical laboratories (1 ). Current clinical guidelines recommend estimated GFR (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (eGFRCr) as the initial diagnostic test, and either a mea...
متن کاملEstimating equations for glomerular filtration rate in children: laboratory considerations.
A recent report by Schwartz and coworkers has described improved equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children (1 ). The equations were developed with data collected from 349 children 1–16 years of age with GFRs of approximately 20 –90 mL min 1 (1.73 m) 1 who were enrolled in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study. The new equations were developed to meet th...
متن کاملComparisons between validated estimated glomerular filtration rate equations and isotopic glomerular filtration rate in HIV patients.
OBJECTIVE Understanding how best to measure renal function in HIV-infected patients is critical because estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in HIV-infected patients can be affected by ethnicity and body composition. We validated the available eGFR equations and compared them to the plasma Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-DTPA) clearance in HIV-infected patients. DESIGN Test o...
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...
