Monitoring renal function: measured and estimated glomerular filtration rates - a review.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a world-wide public health problem, with adverse outcomes of kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and premature death. This finding has led to the hypothesis that earlier recognition of kidney disease and successful intervention may improve outcome. The National Kidney Foundation, through its Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI), and other Natio...

متن کاملMonitoring renal function in children with Fabry disease: comparisons of measured and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate.
BACKGROUND Studies on renal function in children with Fabry disease have mainly been done using estimated creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The aim of this study was to compare estimated creatinine-based GFR (eGFR) with measured GFR (mGFR) in children with Fabry disease and normal renal function. METHODS Eighty-two examinations were done in 42 children (24 boys, 18 girls) wit...
متن کاملPerformance of estimated glomerular filtration rates to monitor change in renal function in kidney transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Glomerular filtration rate estimates (e-GFR) are often used to evaluate the changes in renal function, but have not been validated for this purpose in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of e-GFR for monitoring serial changes in renal function in KTR using directly measured GFR by inulin clearance (I-GFR) as the reference standard. ...
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...
