Macroalbuminuria is a better risk marker than low estimated GFR to identify individuals at risk for accelerated GFR loss in population screening.
Macroalbuminuria, erythrocyturia, and impaired renal function are strong predictors of poor renal outcome in patients with known renal disease. However, the yield of mass screening for these variables to identify individuals who are at risk for GFR loss is yet unknown in a Western population. With the use of data from the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease (PREVEND) study, a pro...
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...
متن کاملCan we do better than a single estimated GFR threshold when screening for chronic kidney disease?
The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation has been used to screen for and diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD). A fixed estimated glomerular filtration rate cutoff point has been advocated by the National Kidney Foundation to diagnose CKD. However, data derived from healthy individuals challenge this approach and suggest that age- and gender-specific reference values may be mor...
متن کاملEstimated 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 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...
