Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

WASHINGTON, DC — Commonly used resting metabolic rate equations overestimate an individual's caloric needs, particularly for African Americans, new research shows. The findings were presented October ...

A comparison of radiographic and morphometric characteristics and outcomes in T3a pathologically upstaged and non-upstaged renal cell carcinoma. Equation performance for predicted new baseline ...

Using race-neutral rather than race and ethnicity-specific reference equations to interpret pulmonary function tests (PFTs) increased the number of Black individuals considered to have respiratory ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...

The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function ...

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 ...

The K/DOQI GUIDELINES advocate use of the Cockroft–Gault equation and MDRD EQUATION to predict glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The validity of these equations in the kidney transplant population is ...
