One of the early products of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study has been an updated equation for estimating GFR in children on the basis of demographic and laboratory parameters.

Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is generally dependent on ... mass spectrometry in a separate analysis facility. Each laboratory was then provided with a correction factor to ...

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 ...

Objective Many societies recommend using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than serum creatinine (sCr) to determine metformin eligibility. We examined the potential impact of ...

Herein lies the crux of our concern. A laboratory-reported eGFR value is usually provided without any confidence intervals, but it might be accompanied by caveats about its interpretation in ...
