...Cristian Pattaro; Peter Riegler; Gerald Stifter; Mirko Modenese; Cosetta Minelli; Peter P. Pramstaller Background/Aims: Several formulas for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation, based on serum creatinine or cystatin C, have been proposed. We assessed the impact of some of these equations...

... tract and Pneumocystis jirovecii infections. The Sfx component appears to be nephrotoxic at high doses or doses inappropriately adjusted for glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The trimethoprim component, even at recommended doses, inhibits tubular creatinine secretion, leading to a rapid but ultimately...

..., a community-based cohort of 5,209 white adults aged 30–62 years who were first examined in 1948. Efforts to capture excess CVD risk associated with CKD have been evaluated by adding estimated GFR, cystatin C, serum creatinine and measures of urinary albumin excretion to the Framingham equation which is based...

.... Prevention Campaign Proteinuria Creatinine Chronic kidney disease End-stage renal disease More than 1 million people are alive due to renal replacement therapy, and 90% of them are in developed countries [ 1 ]. On the other hand, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considered...

...Anders Christensson; Sölve Elmståhl Background/Aims: To evaluate the performance of estimation formulas for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on creatinine and cystatin C in elderly. Methods: This study includes 2,931 men and women comprising nine age cohorts (60–93 years) from a longitudinal...

... methods was described in 29 obese individuals with normal serum creatinine levels. Iohexol disposition was measured using population pharmacokinetics. The agreement with GFR-estimating equations was assessed by intraclass coefficients. Results: Mean age was 44 ± 10 years, body mass index 45 ± 10...

...Youngsun Yeo; Duck-Jong Han; Dae Hyuk Moon; Jung Sik Park; Won Seok Yang; Jai Won Chang; Seung Woon Byun; Su-Kil Park Background/Aims: Accurate measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for the management of kidney transplant recipients. Comparison of creatinine and cystatin C...

... assessment with nuclear GFR in HIV-infected adults. Methods: Patients underwent GFR measurement with 99m Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m Pentetate), and measured values were compared with results of creatinine-based estimation equations [abbreviated 4-variable Modification of Diet in Renal...

... because the serum creatinine is a poor marker of kidney function. We studied the utility of cystatin C to detect renal failure in this population. Method: Twenty-seven AN patients were studied. Glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were measured with the chromium-51- ethylenediaminetetraacetate ( 51 Cr-EDTA...

..., sepsis and platelet count) are often found as common risk factors in these severity scores and should be included in future AKI severity scores. Although several studies have consistently reported that both low creatinine and high urea at the start of RRT are related to worse outcome in AKI patients...

...Pierre Delanaye; Eric P. Cohen Regarding the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the population, estimation of glomerular filtration rate is of importance. Creatinine-based formulas are thus useful as the first step of a prevention strategy. Several creatinine-based formulas have been published...

... follow renal function in patients therefore remains questionable. Methods: 12 healthy subjects (6 men and 6 women) were included in the final statistical analysis. Serum creatinine, plasma cystatin C and GFR were measured twice after a 1-week interval on the same day, at the same time, and under the same...

... emerging risk factors have been proposed as predictors of ARAS, namely homocysteine, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, lipoprotein(a) and creatinine. Methods: We searched Pubmed/Medline for studies investigating the prognostic value of each of these emerging risk factors in ARAS. Results: Creatinine and C...

...Marion M. Mafham; Ioana Niculescu-Duvaz; Jeffrey Barron; Jonathan R. Emberson; Mark E.C. Dockrell; Martin J. Landray; Colin Baigent Background: Exogenous tracer-based methods of measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are difficult to perform, whilst creatinine-based estimation formulae...

... fluctuations of serum creatinine levels. (2) A prospective study on 33 patients with previous evidence of bezafibrate-induced elevation in serum creatinine. The patients were examined after 3 months on bezafibrate 400 mg/day and then after 3 months without bezafibrate. Eight patients repeated the tests after 3...
