Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning treatment for ...

Plasma cystatin C level might better reflect glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than creatinine concentration. Ma et al. have developed and tested a new equation to estimate GFR that uses cystatin C ...

Improve workflow and productivity — when patients arrive for imaging sessions without a current creatinine/eGFR workup, the StatSensor Creatinine POC testing can avoid workflow interruptions and ...

Serum cystatin C levels are influenced by factors other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a retrospective analysis suggests. Serum concentration of cystatin C has been proposed as a more ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of ...

In patients with normal serum creatinine levels at admission, penKid and its GFR formula outperformed traditional methods in predicting AKI within 24 and 48 hours. As penKid is effectively removed ...

Two studies examining relationships between measures of kidney function and adverse events after platinum-based chemotherapy were presented as late-breaking abstracts at the National Kidney Foundation ...
