Evaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimating Formulas in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...
متن کاملThe relationship between thyroid function and estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown an increasing risk of hypothyroidism with incrementally lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in cohorts comprised of patients with normal to mildly impaired kidney function. We sought to confirm these findings in a nationally representative cohort of Veterans Affairs patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This s...
متن کاملThe estimated glomerular filtration rate: Linchpin of the chronic kidney disease guidelines
287 ABSTRACT: Modern management of chronic kidney disease depends upon the measurement of serum creatinine for case finding and categorizing severity. A mathematical formula can be used to convert serum creatinine values into an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate, which is easier to relate to kidney function and to build into practice guidelines than serum creatinine results. As with al...
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 کاملChronic kidney disease and automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate: revised recommendations.
Since publication of the Australasian Creatinine Consensus Working Group's position statement in 2005, most Australasian laboratories now automatically report an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula) with results of serum creatinine tests in adults. Anecdotal evidence suggests that automatic reporting of eGFR helps to ide...
