In a new study, researchers have discovered a connection between inflammation in the areas of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA).

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 ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

Change in urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) slope are markers that are individually used as surrogates of chronic kidney disease progression in clinical ...

Diabetic kidney disease is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, yet current treatments often slow progression ...
