disproportionately high creatinineThe widespread use of reporting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) alongside serum creatinine has led to a heightened appreciation of renal disease. However, creatinine is recognized as an insensitive marker of true GFR and therefore can lead to misdiagnosis of ...
Serum creatinine concentration (Scr) and creatinine based GFR estimating equations (eGFRcr) are commonly used as an estimate of GFR. However, serum creatinine concentration is also influenced by non-GFR determinants. This case report presents two elderly patients with normal Scr but elevated serum cy...
Traditional methods of diagnosing CKD, such as serum creatinine (SCr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), have significant limitations and often fail to detect the disease early, and many patients are not diagnosed until they have reached stage three (30 ml/(min/1.73 m2) ≤ ...
A previous meta-analysis indicated that, independent of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a 25-mg/mmol increase in the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was associated with a 10% increased risk of stroke [2]. However, information on the association of ACR with the risk of ...
To better understand the role of the urea-to-creatinine ratio in chronic kidney disease patients, we assessed the epidemiology of the urea-to-creatinine ratio among hospitalised chronic kidney disease patients, and the association between the urea-to-creatinine ratio and inpatient clinical outcomes. ...
Although albuminuria has been linked to heart failure in the general population, the relationship between urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) and heart failure in type 2 diabetes patients is not well understood. We aimed to investigate the relations
A doubling of serum creatinine value, corresponding to a 57% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), is used frequently as a component of a... HJ Lambers Heerspink,M Weldegiorgis,LA Inker,... - 《American Journal of Kidney Diseases the Official Journal of the National Kidne...
The primary outcome was a 30% reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline, and the secondary outcome was a doubling of the serum creatinine levels, halving of the eGFR and the initiation of dialysis. In addition, experiments with tubular epithelial cells and C57BL...
At baseline, patients who developed the primary composite outcome at follow-up were more likely to be older and had significantly higher plasma concentrations of hepcidin, ferritin, and creatinine and lower eGFR values than those who did not. Previous histories of IHD and HF were also higher in...
ALT, AST, and GGT were measured by Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry transferable method (AU5400, Beckman Coulter). Serum creatinine levels were determined by an enzyme method (AU5400, Beckman Coulter). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the following formula: ...
