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....
Whether COVID toes are contagiousor not is one of the many questions still being researched. However, it seems unlikely that if someone infected with COVID-19 infection who has COVID toes passes the virus to someone else, that other person will also develop COVID toes. If you develop sympt...
At a more complex level, it includes patient-derived test systems, such as patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models in cancer 51, 64. These types of system might have a significant impact on drug discovery in the future; however, at the current stage, there is relatively little data available...
HCC is not characterized by a unique driver mutation, as the case of EGFR mutations for lung cancer or K-Ras mutations for colorectal cancer, thus it is, at present, very difficult to identify a reliable target for antitumoral therapy. This review focuses on current translational research and...
