Estimation of glomerular filtration rate using serum cystatin C in overweight and obese subjects.
BACKGROUND Obesity and overweight are strong independent risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Using serum creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in these subjects may be inaccurate. On the other hand, cystatin C-based eGFR equations may overestimate CKD prevalence as recent findings suggest an association of cystatin C with obesity. The objective of thi...
متن کاملEstimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Older People
We aimed at reviewing age-related changes in kidney structure and function, methods for estimating kidney function, and impact of reduced kidney function on geriatric outcomes, as well as the reliability and applicability of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in older patients. CKD is associated with different comorbidities and adverse outcomes such as disability and pre...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملPredictive performance of 12 equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in severely obese patients.
OBJECTIVE Considering that the Cockcroft-Gault formula and the equation of diet modification in renal disease are amply used in clinical practice to estimate the glomerular filtration rate, although they seem to have low accuracy in obese patients, the present study intends to evaluate the predictive performance of 12 equations used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate in obese patients. ...
متن کاملUsing glomerular filtration rate estimating equations: clinical and laboratory considerations.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations, infrequently used just a decade ago, are now recommended for the evaluation of kidney function for routine clinical care and are routinely reported by the vast majority of clinical laboratories (1 ). Current clinical guidelines recommend estimated GFR (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (eGFRCr) as the initial diagnostic test, and either a mea...
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...
