French researchers have developed and validated a creatinine-based, race-free equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in people who have received a kidney transplant. It ...

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Barriers to donation may explain why living donor kidney transplantation has been declining. If direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be obtained, the CKD-EPI and FAS ...

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Task Force on Reassessing the Inclusion of Race in Diagnosing Kidney Diseases has released its final report, which ...

Adopting a kidney-friendly diet like the DASH or Mediterranean diet and managing sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein intake may help improve GFR by reducing kidney strain. Maintaining heart ...

Starting immediately, the race coefficient should be thrown out of the equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, for US residents, a Task ...

Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) is a first-in-kind product for point of care assessment of kidney function in patients with normal or impaired renal function The transdermal GFR (tGFR) methodology has ...
