Study treatment discontinuation due to adverse event occurred 4% ATV/co and 3% ATV/r subjects through 48-weeks. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 36% ATV/co and 48% ATV/r subjects; hyperbilirubinemia occurred in 96% and 100%, and ocular icterus or jaundice occurred in 14% and 17%, respectively. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (Cockcroft-Gault, mL/min) decreased occurred in ...

BACKGROUND: The 4-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (4-v MDRD) and Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equations are commonly used for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR); however, neither of these equations has been validated in an indigenous African population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the 4-v MDRD and CG equations for estimating GFR in black South Africa...

Indexation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by body surface area (BSA) is often done without raising any questions. In this article, we will shortly review the limitations of such indexation and illustrate potential errors in clinical practice due to this indexation. Adjusting the GFR by BSA is particularly misleading in patients with abnormal body size (obese and anorectic). We will also in...

Mục tiêu: Khảo sát mối liên hệ giữa một số xét nghiệm sinh hóa và thông học với chỉ lọc cầu thận thiết lập bởi các công thức Cockcroft – Gault, MDRD, CKD EPI 2009, độ thanh thải creatinine 24 giờ trên đối tượng suy mạn.Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Cắt ngang mô tả 44 người là dân Việt Nam, từ đủ 18 tuổi trở lên mắc bệnh mạn đến khám tại phòng Khám thận, Bệnh viện Đại Y Dược cơ sở 2.Kết quả: Độ tương ...

INTRODUCTION Assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best index of kidney functions. We aimed to determine the accuracy of El-Minia equation for estimation of GFR in different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the El-Minia population of CKD patients, in comparison to other proposed equations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 320 isotopic GFR measurements by 99m-T...

INTRODUCTION Serum cystatin C is more sensitive for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement, but it is not available for clinical use in all laboratories. Regarding the importance of accurate estimation of GFR in kidney transplant recipients, we compared cystatin C-based equations with creatinine-based formulas to estimate GFR as precisely and simply as possible in kidney transplant recipi...
