Glomerular filtration rate estimation and mortality in an elderly population.
BACKGROUND Few studies have addressed the link between minor renal dysfunction and mortality in the elderly. AIM To compare three equations for estimated GFR (eGFR) in assessing renal dysfunction and predicting mortality in an elderly population. DESIGN Longitudinal observational study. METHODS We studied 441 people from the Jerusalem Seventy Year Olds Longitudinal Study who had measureme...
متن کاملFirst Report on the Percentiles of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Iranian Children Using the 2009 Schwartz Equations
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely considered the best overall index of renal function. The Schwartz equations are designed for measuring the GFR in children between 1 and 16 years of age. In the present study, we investigated the percentiles of the GFR in a general population of Iranian children with no known renal disease via the 2009 Schwartz equations (updated and combined equat...
متن کاملNomogram for estimating glomerular filtration rate in elderly people.
After the second decade of life, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases progressively. There is still considerable debate about the importance of this "physiological decrease" in GFR with age in many situations attributed to the effects of concomitant hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases (among others) observed in the elderly. The GFR is considered the best indicator 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...
متن کاملNephrology visits and health care resource use before and after reporting estimated glomerular filtration rate.
CONTEXT Laboratory reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been widely implemented, with limited evaluation. OBJECTIVE To examine trends in nephrologist visits and health care resource use before and after estimated GFR reporting. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Community-based cohort study (N = 1,135,968) with time-series analysis. Participants were identified from a labo...
