Measured GFR as a confirmatory test for estimated GFR.
Clinical assessment of kidney function is central to the practice of medicine. GFR is widely accepted as the best index of kidney function in health and disease, and accurate values are required for optimal decision making. Estimated GFR based on serum creatinine is now widely reported by clinical laboratories, and in most circumstances, estimated GFR is sufficient for clinical decision making....
متن کاملReduced cystatin C-estimated GFR and increased creatinine-estimated GFR in comparison with iohexol-estimated GFR in a hyperthyroid patient: A case report
INTRODUCTION Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for the evaluation of patients with kidney disease, and for treating patients with drugs that are eliminated from the circulation by the kidneys. Cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine for estimating GFR in several studies. However, studies showing that thyroid function has an impact on cystatin C have ...
متن کاملGFR estimating equations: getting closer to the truth?
The application of serum creatinine and cystatin C in patients with CKD has been limited to using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Criteria for choosing the best GFR estimating equation are 1) accuracy in estimating measured GFR, 2) optimal discrimination of clinical outcomes, and 3) association with CKD risk factors and outcomes similar to that of measured GFR. Notably, these crite...
متن کاملEvaluation of GFR estimating equations in the general community: implications for screening.
The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative has recommended the use of GFR estimating equations to detect silent chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the community. The benefit of general reporting of CKD must be balanced with the harm of mislabeling people who do not have CKD. The popular Cockcroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) GFR estimating equations were compared...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) during and after STEMI: a single-centre, methodological study comparing estimated and measured GFR
OBJECTIVES To validate the performance of the most commonly used formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against measured GFR during the index hospitalisation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). SETTING Single centre, methodological study. PARTICIPANTS 40 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention-treated STEMI were included between November 2011 and Fe...
