Use our validated calculator for an accurate estimate of GFR to aid in early diagnosis and treatment planning GFR measures the volume of blood filtered by the glomeruli in the kidneys per minute ...

Scientists then use the MDRD or CKD-EPI equation to calculate the person’s eGFR score. These equations take into account a person’s creatinine levels, age, sex, and ethnicity. In September ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name ...

Nearly 300 adults beginning treatment for cancer had their GFR estimated with the Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance equation to dose their carboplatin chemotherapy. But when their eGFR was ...

New equation may yield new results “Patients and healthcare professionals can use a patient-friendly eGFR calculator that uses the new equation to determine a non-race-based calculation to ...

French researchers have developed and validated a creatinine-based, race-free equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in people who have received a kidney transplant.

In a pilot study, the scientists assessed the performance of the existing eGFR calculators based on creatinine or cystatin C clearance in 130 Indians, comprising of 63 healthy kidney donors and 67 ...
