Estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Role of Cystatin C and glomerular filtration rate in diagnosis of kidney impairment in hepatic cirrhosis patients

Hepatic cirrhosis is often accompanied by functional kidney impairment, which may be reversed if early treatment is promptly administered. This study aimed to investigate the role of Cystatin C and Cystatin C estimated glomerular filtration rate in the diagnosis of kidney impairment in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.Four hundred sixty five patients with hepatic cirrhosis were recruited. Serum ...

Association of Glomerular Filtration Rate with Inflammation in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background We aimed to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to determine the relationship between GFR with C-reactive protein (CRP) and uric acid. MaterialsAndMethods In this cross-sectional study, one-hundred and forty PCOS women and 60 healthy subjects were evaluated. The study was carried out at Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic, Erzu...

Associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria withmortality and renal failure by sex: a meta-analysis OPEN ACCESS

Objective To assess for the presence of a sex interaction in the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with all-causemortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease. DesignRandom effects meta-analysis using pooled individual participant

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring trumps estimated glomerular filtration rate in predicting cardiovascular risk in low-risk populations.

Estimated 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...

Associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with mortality and renal failure by sex: a meta-analysis

OBJECTIVE To assess for the presence of a sex interaction in the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease. DESIGN Random effects meta-analysis using pooled individual participant data. SETTING 46 cohorts from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australasia. PARTICIPANTS 2,051...
