Effect of alcohol consumption on estimated glomerular filtration rate and creatinine clearance rate.
BACKGROUND Moderate alcohol consumption is widely recognized as beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, yet the renal effects of alcohol intake are still controversial. The present study is designed to investigate the influence of alcohol consumption on calculated creatinine clearance rate (CCr) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a Southern Taiwan Pai-Wan aboriginal communi...
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 کاملAutomatic Reporting of Creatinine-based Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children: Is This Feasible?
Creatinine, although widely used as a biomarker to measure renal function, has long been known as an insensitive marker of renal impairment. Patients with reduced renal function can have a creatinine level within the normal range, with a rapid rise when renal function is significantly reduced. As of 1976, the correlation between height, the reciprocal of creatinine, and measured glomerular filt...
متن کاملEnhanced creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate reporting to facilitate detection of acute kidney injury.
OBJECTIVES While acute kidney injury (AKI) can be diagnosed based on specified increases in a patient's plasma creatinine level, standard creatinine reporting methods typically only flag creatinine results as abnormal when outside the reference range and often fail to identify rising creatinine values indicative of AKI. Here, we evaluate the impact of this limitation in standard creatinine repo...
متن کاملEstimated Glomerular Filtration Rate —A More Stable Indicator than Creatinine Clearance in Peritoneal Dialysis Practice
OBJECTIVE The usefulness of estimated glomerular filtration rate may not be restricted to pre-dialysis patients, since we reported that estimated glomerular filtration rate was well correlated with measured total creatinine clearance in peritoneal dialysis patients. To clarify the clinical usefulness of estimated glomerular filtration rate as a parameter for peritoneal dialysis adequacy, we ret...
