The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

A new equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, shows improved accuracy and precision compared with commonly used equations. The European Kidney Function ...

BOSTON, Mass. & REGENSBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading NMR diagnostics company numares recently published data showing that its novel, multi-marker approach to assess kidney function allowed ...

Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

To diagnose kidney disease, physicians calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR, as a measure of kidney function. Those calculations factor in a patient’s age, sex and levels of serum ...
