Inhibition of Wnt signaling as therapeutic option in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

A prospective population-based cohort study found that glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C was more sensitive and specific for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks compared with ...

I recently took a call from a new practitioner. She had an 85-year-old diabetic, non-insulin-dependent female with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The practitioner asked if ...

A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account. Annual health checkups regularly include ...

Impact of UGT1A4, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15 pharmacogenetics on tamoxifen (TAM) metabolism. Comparison of carboplatin dose calculated using eGFR formulae versus 51Cr-EDTA.

The use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in assessing chronic kidney disease (CKD) for Black patients may lead to underdiagnosis and undertreatment, according to a nephrologist ...

In study participants, C-reactive protein levels were used to measure inflammatory severity, serum creatinine levels to gauge renal function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated ...
