Adding the measurement of cystatin C to that of serum creatinine to determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improves accuracy, but the effect on detection, staging, and risk ...

The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function ...

According to the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, 5, 6 calculating cystatin C-based eGFR may confirm the diagnosis of a decreased creatinine-based eGFR, and therefore ...

Mass General Brigham was one of the first institutions to remove race as a variable in formulas used to estimate glomerular filtration rate, the standard measure of kidney function. A national task ...

A patient's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remains a pillar for diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and tracking its progression. But nephrologists now recognize that eGFR values ...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C, serum creatinine, and 51 Cr-EDTA-clearance in patients with spinal cord injury. Setting: The Spinal Cord Unit, Viborg-Kjellerup ...

A study of more than 82,000 older adults receiving outpatient measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) found that measuring eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C levels ...

Kidney function in clinical practice is currently estimated using serum creatinine; although it is known to be an imperfect marker, as it is influenced by many factors that are independent of ...

A prospective cohort study found that in patients with chronic kidney disease, large differences in their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on cystatin C vs creatinine were associated with risk ...

Washington, DC - More data on cystatin¿C, this time from the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study (Health ABC), suggest that this biomarker of kidney function is a strong and independent predictor ...
