Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently defined by abnormalities of kidney structure or
function assessed using a matrix of variables—including glomerular filtration rate (GFR) …

Since 1957, over 70 equations based on creatinine and/or cystatin C levels have been
developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, whether these equations …

Measuring serum creatinine is cheap and commonly done in daily practice. However,
interpretation of serum creatinine results is not always easy. In this review, we will briefly …

Dietary protein restriction may improve determinants of CKD progression. However, the
extent of improvement and effect of ketoanalogue supplementation are unclear. We …

Background: Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used to
assess kidney function. Current equations have limited precision and systematically …

BACKGROUND: Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is limited by differences in
creatinine generation among ethnicities. Our previously reported GFR-estimating equations …

Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimates facilitate detection of chronic kidney
disease but require calibration of the serum creatinine assay to the laboratory that …

In the coming years, estimates of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may replace the
measurement of serum creatinine as the primary tool for the assessment of kidney function …

Background and objectives: We compared the estimations of Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of
Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration …

Sex and gender differences are of fundamental importance in most diseases, including
chronic kidney disease (CKD). Men and women with CKD differ with regard to the …
