Creatinine-based formulae have several limitations, including lack of validation in ethnic populations apart from Caucasians and African Americans; significant differences in eGFR and reference GFR have been reported in a Chinese population (eGFR overestimated reference GFR when GFR < 30 mls/min/1.73 ...
Mean eGFR was 53 ml/min/1.73m2, and mean albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was 164 mg/mmol. Further details on electrolytes, hematology, acid-base balance, vitamins, lipids, and hormones are provided in Table 2. Table 1 Patient characteristics, risk factors and medical history at time of ...
Also, CRP, DD, PCT, SpO2, respiratory rate, creatinine, total protein, albumin, calcium, and age were the most important variables to predict the need for mechanical ventilation [27]. In a similar study, SpO2/FiO2, CRP, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), age, Charlson score, ...
The most common treatment-related adverse events reported were hair color change, elevated creatinine phosphokinase, and anemia. Treatment was generally well tolerated, although 9 of the 137 patients evaluable for safety discontinued therapy due to treatment-related adverse events such as intratumoral ...
The use of serum creatinine based GFR estimating equations also ensured crude comparisons with prevalence data from other countries. Using CG/BSA equation and a representative population; our study estimated the prevalence of low eGFR (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) to be 13.3%. With MDRD, the ...

Creatinine is a breakdown metabolite of creatine phosphate in muscle1. It is eliminated by kidneys, mostly via glomerular filtration and partly via secretion at proximal tubule1,2. Therefore, creatinine clearance could be used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by measuring serum creat...
