The Relationship between Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in working-aged people. Several studies have suggested that glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was correlated with DR. This is a hospital-based study and the aim of it was to examine the relationship between the GFR and DR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We used CKD-EPI equation to estimate GFR and...
متن کاملGlomerular Filtration Rate and Renal Functional Reserve
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually accepted as the best overall index of kidney function in health and disease. Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size. In young adults it is approximately 120-130ml/ min/1.73 m2 and declines with age1. A decrease in GFR precedes the onset of clinical kidney failure; therefore, a persistently reduced GFR is a specific indication of chroni...
متن کاملComparisons between validated estimated glomerular filtration rate equations and isotopic glomerular filtration rate in HIV patients.
OBJECTIVE Understanding how best to measure renal function in HIV-infected patients is critical because estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in HIV-infected patients can be affected by ethnicity and body composition. We validated the available eGFR equations and compared them to the plasma Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-DTPA) clearance in HIV-infected patients. DESIGN Test o...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration rate following pediatric liver transplantation--the SPLIT experience.
Impaired kidney function is a well-recognized complication following liver transplantation (LT). Studies of this complication in children have been limited by small numbers and insensitive outcome measures. Our aim was to define the prevalence of, and identify risk factors for, post-LT kidney dysfunction in a multicenter pediatric cohort using measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR). We cond...
متن کاملCharacterization of focal pancreatic lesions using normalized apparent diffusion coefficient at 1.5-Tesla: preliminary experience.
PURPOSE To compare the capabilities of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized ADC using the pancreatic parenchyma as reference organ in the characterization of focal pancreatic lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with focal pancreatic lesions (malignant, n=18; benign tumors, n=10; focal pancreatitis, n=8) underwent diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) at 1.5-Tesla us...
