Two Novel Equations to Estimate Kidney Function in Persons Aged 70 Years or Older
- E. Schaeffner, N. Ebert, +9 authors P. Martus
- Medicine
- Annals of Internal Medicine
- 2 October 2012
BACKGROUND
In older adults, current equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are not validated and may misclassify elderly persons in terms of their stage of chronic kidney disease.

- 1 May 2016
BACKGROUND
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is accepted as the best indicator of kidney function and is commonly estimated from serum creatinine (SCr)-based equations. Separate equations have been… Expand
Cholesterol and the risk of renal dysfunction in apparently healthy men.
- E. Schaeffner, T. Kurth, +5 authors J. Gaziano

- 1 August 2003
Despite extensive knowledge about abnormal lipid patterns in patients with end-stage renal disease, the association between cholesterol and the development of renal dysfunction is unclear. We… Expand
Estimating glomerular filtration rate for the full age spectrum from serum creatinine and cystatin C

- 1 March 2017
Background. We recently published and validated the new serum creatinine (Scr)‐based full‐age‐spectrum equation (FAScrea) for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for healthy and… Expand
Prevalence and correlates of gout in a large cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease: the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study.

- Medicine
- Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official…
- 1 April 2015
BACKGROUND
Reduced kidney function is a risk factor for hyperuricaemia and gout, but limited information on the burden of gout is available from studies of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).… Expand
Educational level as a determinant of access to and outcomes after kidney transplantation in the United States.

- 1 May 2008
BACKGROUND
Disparities in access to kidney transplantation exist, yet few studies investigated educational level as a determinant of access to and outcomes after kidney transplantation.

Blood pressure measures and risk of chronic kidney disease in men.

- Medicine
- Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official…
- 5 November 2007
BACKGROUND
High blood pressure (BP) has been associated with a decrease in kidney function. However, it remains unclear which BP measure best predicts impaired kidney function.
METHODS
We compared… Expand
Alcohol and kidney damage: a Janus-faced relationship.
- E. Schaeffner, E. Ritz
- Medicine
- Kidney international
- 1 May 2012
It has been known for a long time that excessive consumption of alcohol has adverse effects, including adverse impact on kidneys and kidney disease. Recently, observational evidence has been provided… Expand
A Lifetime of Allograft Function with Kidneys from Older Donors.

- Medicine
- Journal of the American Society of Nephrology…
- 26 March 2015
Strategies to increase expanded criteria donor (ECD) transplantation are needed. We quantified the extent to which ECD kidneys provide recipients with a lifetime of allograft function by determining… Expand
Access to kidney transplantation among the elderly in the United States: a glass half full, not half empty.

- 1 November 2010
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Few elderly ESRD patients are ever wait-listed for deceased-donor transplantation (DDTX), and waiting list outcomes may not reflect access to transplantation in this group.… Expand
