Background Most validations of paediatric glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating
equations using standardized creatinine (CR) and cystatin C (CYS) assays have comprised …

Purpose To evaluate whether cystatin C in serum (sCyC) and urine (uCyC) can predict early
acute kidney injury (AKI) in a mixed heterogeneous intensive care unit (ICU), and also …

Abstract Background/Aims: Identifying the best method to estimate the glomerular filtration
rate (GFR) in bariatric surgery patients has important implications for the clinical care of …

Background Anatomic and hemodynamic similarities between renal and cerebral vessels
suggest a tight link between kidney disease and brain disease. Although several distinct …

Accompanied with the broad application of interventional therapy, the incidence of acute
kidney injury (AKI) has been recently increasing in clinical renal medicine. The …

Changes in renal function are one of the most common manifestations of severe illness.
There is a clinical need to intervene early with proven treatments in patients with potentially …

Kidney function undergoes developmental changes, including postnatal adaptation of
nephron recruitment until approximately 18 months of age and glomerular hypertrophy …

Reference intervals (RIs) for biochemical and hematological markers determined using
healthy adult and/or pediatric populations are vital for clinical interpretation of laboratory test …

Objectives. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major complications that develop over time in
type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This prospective study was conducted to assess the …

Background The aim of this study was to identify the optimal equation that accurately
estimates the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage in …
