Cystatin C was introduced as a potential alternative or supplement to the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using creatinine. Although cystatin C is well supported as a better predictor of outcomes than creatinine, its reflection of actual renal function compared with creatinine is widely...

Even if the creatinine is elevated in the elderly, the first question I ask is how well hydrated were they at the time of the blood draw. Is This Actually Chronic Kidney Disease, and What Can Be Done About it? The current study was planned to measure serum Cystatin-C and serum creatinin...
Testing a person's GFR directly requires many blood draws over a longer period, so most health care providers use an eGFR, which involves a single blood test and a calculation. An eGFR measures how much blood these filters clean every minute. Glomerular filtration rate vs. creatinine clearance ...

What’s the difference between “early-stage” and “resectable” NSCLC? Questions aboutBiomarker Testingand Results Is biomarker testing covered by my insurance? What is biomarker testing? What is the goal of biomarker testing? What does it mean to have EGFR+ NSCLC?
The current objective is to evaluate the risk of all-cause mortality over a 10-year follow-up period with multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analysis, comparing CKD stages based on eGFR to Cockcroft-Gault estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl). There were significant differences between Stage 3A ...
All ages, top 10 global risk factors for death, 2019. Kidney dysfunction (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2or albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g) was the seventh leading global level 3 risk factor for death in 2019. The 3 leading global...
occurs when your kidneys have been damaged by disease or an injury. You get it when your kidneys are no longer able to get rid of enough nitrogen waste. Azotemia is usually diagnosed by using urine and blood tests. These tests will check your blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine ...
Furthermore, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels decreased significantly, and eGFR increased significantly compared to baseline [62]. The study showed that controlled energy supplementation would improve adherence to the same diet with controlled protein intake and improve the nutritional status of ...
