Studies in 'healthy' Indians have found a lower range of normal glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) than in Western populations, but it is not clear if this difference is a reflection of ...

Glomerular capillaries have unique adaptations allowing their walls to function as a biological sieve known as the glomerular filtration barrier. This enables the kidneys to fulfil their primary role ...

Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney ...

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 ...

A prediction model for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by Schwartz-formula was developed for every diagnosis group using generalized estimated equation (GEE)-analysis. GEE-analysis ...

Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney ...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new method to assess GFR (glomerular filtration rate) in older ...

Multimorbidity is strongly associated with accelerated kidney function decline in older age, according to study findings.

Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney disease. The presence of albumin in the urine is one indicator as is ...

COVID-19 is associated with accelerated decline in kidney function, especially after hospitalization, according to a study published online.

Key urine indicators, such as albumin and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are used to assess kidney health. In conditions ...

suggesting that insulin has a specific effect on the podocyte in the glomerular filtration barrier. The insulin response of the podocyte occurs via the facilitative glucose transporters GLUT1 and ...
