A person's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a mainstay for assessing renal function and health, can often substantially differ from that person's actual, directly measured GFR (mGFR), a ...

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Valuable in Measuring Kidney Function in Gastric Cancer Patients Researchers from Dokkyo Medical University in Japan found that estimated glomerular filtration ...

A team of researchers led by the National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition (NIBIOHN) and Osaka University established a new method to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ...

“There are many ways to measure GFR using either renal or plasma clearance of a variety of exogenous markers with different sampling strategies,” she said. Few comparative studies have evaluated ...

The study authors noted that advances in nonradiolabeled GFR measurement techniques have made it a “highly feasible” and safe outpatient procedure. Race, sex, age, and socioeconomic factors should not ...
