Estimated 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...
متن کاملAutomatic 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 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 کاملProtein Diet and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common health problem worldwide. CKD staging or classification, together with patients’ prognosis and treatment plan depend on the patients’ kidney function which is assessed by measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Estimated GFR can be obtained using serum or plasma creatinine as a main variable in equations or formulae such as Cockcroft-Gault equat...
