A GFR of over 90 is considered normal. But having a GFR of 60 or above may also be considered within the normal range if you do not have other signs of kidney disease. Diabetes is a long-term (chronic ...

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 ...

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...

Adopting a kidney-friendly diet like the DASH or Mediterranean diet and managing sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein intake may help improve GFR by reducing kidney strain. Maintaining heart ...

Acute kidney injury - defined as an abrupt decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - is among the top causes of hospitalization during a heat wave. New research published ahead of print in the ...

Kidney failure is a lifelong burden in hundreds of thousands of people who need to be treated either by dialysis or a kidney transplant. Both procedures significantly increase the cost of healthcare ...
