ORLANDO —Use of the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration eGFR formula may lead to incorrect classification of Black living kidney donors as having CKD, according to data ...

It quickly gained widespread acceptance in the renal community. This classification system has significant merit in that as eGFR declines, risk of kidney-related adverse outcomes and all-cause ...

Under an age-adapted CKD classification system, CKD is defined as an eGFR less than 75 mL/min/1.73m 2 for adults aged 18 to less than 40 years, less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 for those aged 40 to 65 ...

Many people develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) as they grow older, and many people with CKD take antiplatelet agents to prevent cardiovascular events. However, the efficacy of antiplatelet ...

The CKD classification system is likely to be refined further in the future, but having the system, in my opinion, has been helpful in delineating the public health consequences of CKD.

A routinely available laboratory result called the estimated glomerular filtration rate provides a simple indicator of kidney function and may increase early diagnoses of chronic kidney disease ...

Our classification schemes for CKD need to adjust for age and gender, argues Dr Epstein. News & Perspective Drugs & Diseases CME & Education Video Decision Point  Specialty: ...

The study, New composite phenotypes enhance chronic kidney disease classification and genetic associations was published in PLOS Genetics. Journal. PLOS Genetics. DOI. 10.1371/journal.pgen.1011718 .

Diabetes Care. 2014;37(3):867-875. CKD progression is defined in two ways: as a progressive decline in eGFR faster than the normal decline of 0.8–1 mL/min/year or as an increase in albuminuria ...
