The major causes of renal transplant loss are death from vascular, malignant or infectious
disease, and loss of the allograft from chronic renal dysfunction associated with the …

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease as a public health problem. Chronic kidney disease is
a worldwide public health problem. In the United States, there is a rising incidence and …

OBJECTIVE: The predictive performance of 10 equations used to estimate creatinine
clearance (Clcr) was assessed retrospectively from data collected on 420 patients. DESIGN …

Introduction Increasingly, derived estimates of glomerular filtration, such as the modification
of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation and Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula are being …

Numerous formulas have been developed to estimate renal function from biochemical,
demographic and anthropometric data. Here we compared renal function derived from 12 …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global problem with increasing prevalence. End-stage
renal disease (ESRD) accounts for 8% of all medical admissions and 42% of renal …

Objetivo: Foi descrito um incremento da depuração renal em alguns grupos de pacientes
gravemente enfermos, o qual pode induzir à eliminação de concentrações de fármacos por …

Background Accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimates has been questioned and
several authors recommend routine use of measured renal creatinine clearance (CL CR) as …

Background We hypothesized that measured 2-hour (CrCl 2), 6-hour (CrCl 6), and 16-hour
(CrCl 16) urine creatinine clearance accurately reflect measured (CrCl 24meas) and …

Background Augmented renal clearance (ARC; ie, creatinine clearance [CL Cr]≥ 130
mL/min) has an incidence of 14%-80% in critically ill patients and has been associated with …
