BACKGROUND Mild renal insufficiency has recently been recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The mechanisms underlying this association are incompletely understood. Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is an independent risk factor for CVD, which is particularly common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and which has been shown to be associated with mild renal ...

Abstract Aims To investigate the change in atherosclerotic plaque volume patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and declining renal function, using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Methods results In total, 891 participants analysable serial CCTA available glomerular filtration rate (GFR, derived Cockcroft–Gault formulae) at baseline (CCTA 1) follow-up 2) were included. CKD ...

There are doubts about whether the values obtained from the Cockroft-Gault (Cl(CG)) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (GFR(MDRD)) formulas are comparable to the more traditional formula used to obtain the creatinine clearance from a 24-hour urine collection (ClCr(m)), particularly in patients with only one kidney. The present study aimed to compare these formulas in individuals with one...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a very common clinical problem in elderly patients and associated with increased morbidity mortality. The proportion of the predicted to further rise 20% by year 2030 caused demographic change from pattern high birth rates mortality low rates. Delayed has contributed population. aging process involves physiological nutritional changes that will affect status elde...

background glomerular filtration rate (gfr) is widely estimated by serum creatinine based equations such as cockcroft-gault (cg) standardized for body surface, and an abbreviated formula derived from mdrd (modification of diet in renal disease) study. however, some studies suggested that creatinine based estimation of gfr formula can be replaced by cystatin c based formula. objectives the aim o...
