To assess kidney function and track chronic kidney disease, health care providers commonly use a measure called eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). But the two predominant equations used in ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Discrepancies between eGFR and measured GFR suggest that measured GFR may be the superior calculator for ...

The leaders of two major US nephrology groups have issued their most forceful call to date for ending use of the race coefficient modifier when calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

Do not classify mechanically based on eGFR aloneWhen checking renal function during a health examination, it is important not to judge based solely on a single eGFR value, but to look at age, urinary ...
