A creatinine clearance test is one that looks at how hard your kidneys are working based on how much creatinine, a waste product, is in your blood and urine. This test requires a 24-hour collection of pee and having your blood drawn. It's one way to estimate your GFR. Instead of a ...

It was suggested that epigenetic markers could predict the severity of CKD, distinguish between different CKD stages, and evaluate the risk of ESRD. The most promising epigenetic markers of renal fibrosis are microRNAs (miRs) and DNA methylation; they are commonly analyzed in blood cells or urine...
Perform a blood test to determine serum creatinine or serum cystatin C levels. Choose one of the four main methods of calculating GFR: CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation; CKD-EPI Creatinine-Cystatin Equation; CKD-EPI Cystatin C Equation; or MDRD equation. Select the values of the parameters α,...

By definition, the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) for a chemical with no known biological function is an estimate of the amount that can be ingested weekly over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. Subsequently, the PTWI for Cd was amended to a tolerable monthly intake (TMI)...
We have recently reported the clinical performance of a new blood-based assay, GFRNMR, for the accurate estimation of GFR (normalized to 1.73 m2 body surface area) in subjects with and without CKD [15]. The GFRNMR equation is based on measurements of serum myo-inositol, valine, creatinine,...
