The kidney plays a central role in maintaining physiological homeostasis during pregnancy. Since the 1950s, it has been known that measured glomerular filt

The new European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) eGFR equation uses rescaled serum creatinine (SCr) to an age- and sex-specific normal median value, making it applicable across the entire age spectr...

ABSTRACTIntroduction. Sickle cell disease (SCD) carries a high risk of chronic kidney disease, necessitating accurate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) moni

Experts in estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are often questioned by colleagues about the proliferation of creatinine-based equations

Detection of chronic kidney disease is based on estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The latter is significantly underused, even in high-risk populations. As pre...

ABSTRACT. The debate over whether to use age-adapted or age-independent estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) cut-offs for diagnosing chronic kidney

Discordant results between cystatin C and creatinine in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are an important medical issue. However, the equat…

ABSTRACTBackground. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinin

Background Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are widely used in clinical practice but exhibit inherent limitations. On the other side, measuring GFR is time consum...

The 2024 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines for chronic kidney disease (CKD) evaluation and management bring important updates, particularly for European laboratories. These ...
