New Creatinine- and Cystatin C–Based Equations to Estimate GFR without Race

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 ...

Practical equations calculate gas flow rates through venturi valves

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 ...

Rate of Respiratory Impairments in Black Patients Increases When PFTs Use Race-Neutral Reference Equations

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 ...

Cystatin C–Based Equation to Estimate GFR without the Inclusion of Race and Sex

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 ...

Equations used to predict glomerular filtration rate perform poorly in kidney transplant recipients

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 ...
