Race-free creatinine-based eGFR equations may underestimate kidney failure risk in Black adults, potentially delaying necessary care. Equations incorporating both creatinine and cystatin C preserve ...

An online tool that uses two kidney failure risk equations appears to accurately predict the probability of kidney failure at 2 and 5 years in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) across a ...

Use of cystatin C and SGLT2 inhibitors were highlighted in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization ...

In study participants, C-reactive protein levels were used to measure inflammatory severity, serum creatinine levels to gauge renal function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated ...

A new study reveals that inclusion of a patient's 2-year risk of progression to kidney failure (using the Kidney Failure Risk Equation [KFRE], which incorporates age, sex, urine albumin, and eGFR) as ...

In a primary care cohort, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation vs the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation classified 7.73% vs 6.57% of individuals ...

Black patients with chronic kidney diseases have faced historically longer waiting times for kidney transplants due to an ...
