A year after guidelines were revised to remove the use of race in eGFR, many labs and pathologists were still relying on the dangerously outdated version of the test.

A worldwide movement is underway to oblige laboratories to provide an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) whenever serum creatinine concentration is measured at the request of a physician.

Results showed highest risks for CVD for low eGFR and high GFR. Overall, 214,111 patients developed CVD during the study. Glomerular hyperfiltration may increase CVD risks, including myocardial ...

Older adults may have hyperfiltration with normal glomerular filtration rate calculation. GFR calculation may be more accurate without correcting for body surface area. An equation for detecting ...
