The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...
The results of the Pearson correlation test indicated non-significant correlations (p>0.05, p=0.703 and 0.819). This suggested that there was no significant relationship between creatinine levels and estimated GFR and blood glucose levels in type 2 DM patients. This study provi...
Furthermore, a substantial body of research has consistently affirmed a robust linkage between high blood pressure and CKD49,50,59. This underscores the need for comprehensive management of these risk factors within the context of DM care, aligning with findings from previous research60,61,62. ...

(NHIS). We selected 9,598,085 participants older than 20 years who had undergone health checkups in 2009. A health checkup involves the history of any diseases, current health status, and results of several physical and blood exams including eGFR. We investigated the presence of HNC diagnosis...
Thus, our RF model displayed an R-squared of 0.6 and 0.5 in the training and test cohorts, respectively, meaning that 60 and 50% of the one-year eGFR variability is explained by the model. Interestingly, some metabolites that did not show any significant association with one-year eGFR ...
