BOSTON -- 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 ...

A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

To determine an individual's kidney function, clinicians evaluate what's known as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with a GFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 being in the normal range. GFR can be ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Newer eGFR calculations that do not consider race show a link between kidney function and dementia. Equations ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

Retrospective analysis of 340 Black cancer patients enrolled in phase I clinical trials in the USA between 1995 and 2010 indicates that excluding race from the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology ...

In a 60-year-old patient with clinical stage III adenocarcinoma of the lung, treatment with 160 mg of selpercatinib twice daily, in 28-day cycles, led to a rapid decrease in the estimated glomerular ...
