DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 73-year-old female. A recent blood test returned an eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) of 59. My physician’s nurse told me that the test was normal. When I asked her ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that even slight abnormalities in kidney function—within the normal ...

Subtle abnormalities in kidney function—even within the range considered normal—may help identify people at risk of ...

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Major differences between eGFR based on cystatin C compared with creatinine were associated with higher rates for all-cause mortality, CV events and kidney failure for outpatients, according to data ...
