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...

CKD is defined as the presence of kidney damage or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2, persisting for 3 months or more.3 Symptoms Early chronic kidney disease has no signs or symptoms as kidney function deteriorates slowly over time. ...
While it is known that the composition and diversity of the GM may depend on the host genetic background [29,30,31], it is unknown whether there is a signature microbiome that is maximally influenced in an ASD background. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism that regulates host-microbiota hom...
It is a BiTE that binds both CD19 (consistently found on ALL blasts) and CD3 (on cytotoxic T-cells) facilitating malignant cell lysis [49]. The second bsAB for treatment of cancer, amivantamab, was approved in 2021 for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Amivantamab targets EGFR and ...
