Abstract Knowledge of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is required to detect and follow
impairment of renal function, to allow correct dosage of drugs cleared by the kidneys, and for …

Cystatin C as a marker of glomerular filtration rate: prospe... : Current Opinion in Nephrology and
Hypertension Cystatin C as a marker of glomerular filtration rate: prospects and limitations …

Background There are still limited studies comprehensively examining the diagnostic
performance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C in contrast …

Aims/hypothesis It is argued that GFR estimation (eGFR) using cystatin C-based equations
(eGFRcys) is superior to that using creatinine-based equations (eGFRcre). We investigated …

The diagnosis, prognosis, and control of chronic kidney disease rely on an understanding of
the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The renal clearance of the cystatin-C is closely …

Objective To establish equations for the estimation of glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs)
based on serum creatinine (SCr) and/or serum cystatin C (SCysC) in Chinese patients with …

Estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has become popular in clinical medicine as an
alternative to measured GFR (mGFR), but there are few studies comparing them in clinical …

Accurate and precise monitoring of kidney function is critical for a timely and reliable
diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The determination of kidney function usually …

Abstract Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI)
equation that combines creatinine and cystatin C is superior to equations that include either …

Background: The progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is concomitant with
complications, including thyroid dysfunction, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. The …
