Renal physiology underpins the body’s ability to maintain homeostatic control over blood pressure, electrolyte balance and fluid volume. Recent advances in mathematical modelling have facilitated a ...

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

Acute kidney injury - defined as an abrupt decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - is among the top causes of hospitalization during a heat wave. New research published ahead of print in the ...

Lower estimated tubular secretion was found to be associated with a faster decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) but wasn’t associated with progression of chronic kidney disease or ...

Credit: Thinkstock An accurate estimate of future GFR after nephrectomy would help to guide operative strategy and use of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapies, according to a recent editorial. Accurate ...

A GFR of over 90 is considered normal. But having a GFR of 60 or above may also be considered within the normal range if you do not have other signs of kidney disease. Diabetes is a long-term (chronic ...

"These are disappointing results of this device and drug combination. However, RONDA is a small study and the conclusions that can be obtained are limited." Presenter: Matthew J. Price, MD (Scripps ...

Credit: Thinkstock Poor thyroid function can lead to reduced GFR and decreased renal blood flow that can result in ischemic kidney injury. Subclinical hypothyroidism is common among patients with ...

HOUSTON -- Two commonly used kidney function tests had a large degree of disagreement and were linked with serious health outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a ...

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 62-year-old female who has focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) that was diagnosed in 2001. After several years of treatment with prednisone and cyclosporine, along with an ...
