Utility of estimated glomerular filtration rate in live kidney donation.
Live kidney donation is considered safe; nevertheless, data supporting such claims are almost exclusively of white origin with very limited long-term outcomes in ethnic minority donors. This prospective observational study consisted of a total of 103 previous kidney donors (54 black and 49 white) with mean follow-up days of 743.5 +/- 603.9 for white and 845.1 +/- 668.5 for black donors. The bla...
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 کاملProtein Diet and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common health problem worldwide. CKD staging or classification, together with patients’ prognosis and treatment plan depend on the patients’ kidney function which is assessed by measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Estimated GFR can be obtained using serum or plasma creatinine as a main variable in equations or formulae such as Cockcroft-Gault equat...
