5,9 As we described previously, the current approach to the development of CKD-EPI equations has been to model eGFR with the use of least-squares linear regression to relate log-transformed ...

5 The general form of the EKFC eGFR equation is EKFC − eGFR = 107.3 ... For the cystatin C rescaling factor, we used quantile regression and a linear spline with a knot at 50 years to determine ...

Newer eGFR calculations that do not consider race show a link between kidney function and dementia. Equations with and without race showed similar risks by eGFR level, but some individuals changed ...

The new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021 ...

Even Correctly-Administered NSAIDS Can Cause AKI in Kids A combined creatinine-cystatin C equation has improved performance and accuracy for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (HealthDay ...

However, GFR is difficult to measure directly. Instead, doctors can use a mathematical equation to predict eGFR from a blood sample. This involves measuring the amount of creatinine, which is a ...

BOSTON -- Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning ...

A new equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, shows improved accuracy and precision compared with commonly used equations. The European Kidney ...

The KFRE score was superior for predicting the two-year incidence of ESKD compared with eGFR alone across all eGFR equations (area under the curve ranges, 0.945 to 0.954 versus 0.900 to 0.927).
