What are the stages of chronic kidney disease? Here's what you need to know about the symptoms and slowing progression.

Such reporting constitutes de facto screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the validity of eGFR for this purpose has not been appropriately tested. [1,2] eGFR reporting is already ...

Calcium levels decreased less with each subsequent denosumab dose among individuals with osteoporosis and advanced chronic kidney disease.

Prior studies suggest that PCPs and nephrologists deliver suboptimal CKD care. One strategy to improve disease awareness and treatment is estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting.

If their GFR is below 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or with high blood creatinine, they should be seen by a kidney specialist or board-certified internist with long experience in care for patients with CKD.

Results: Upon the initial diagnosis of CKD (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] 60 mL/min), the patient’s blood pressure and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) should be measured ...

Median CRP level was 2.0 mg/mL at eGFR ... CKD progression rate doubled from 11.7 to 23.6 per 1000 person-years from the lowest to highest CRP category. AKI risk significantly increased 18%, 34% ...

According to an important study performed by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), StatSensor Creatinine/eGFR can be effectively used to improve the early detection of CKD and high-risk ...

Study: Semaglutide in patients with overweight or obesity and chronic kidney disease without diabetes ... estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥25 ml/min/1.73 m², urine albumin-to ...
