The performance of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equations as compared with measured (125)I-iothalamate GFR (iGFR) was analyzed in patients with… (More)
PURPOSE
Compared to radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy better preserves renal parenchyma and function. Although several clinical factors may impact renal function after partial nephrectomy… (More)
We determined the prevalence and clinical predictors of aspirin resistance by prospectively studying 325 patients with stable cardiovascular disease who were receiving aspirin (325 mg/day for > or =7… (More)
BACKGROUND
Variation in performance of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations is related to variation in calibration of the creatinine assay across clinical laboratories.

BACKGROUND
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication of renal transplantation. The short-term consequences of DGF are well known, but the long-term relationship between DGF and patient… (More)
Due to the shortage of organs, living donor acceptance criteria are becoming less stringent. An accurate determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical in the evaluation of living… (More)
The pathogenesis of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) involves both immunologic (antigen-dependent) and nonimmunologic (antigen-independent) mechanisms. In order to provide further insight into the… (More)
Noninvasive biomarkers are needed to assess immune risk and ultimately guide therapeutic decision-making following kidney transplantation. A requisite step toward these goals is validation of markers… (More)
PURPOSE
To create a model to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in healthy individuals, such as renal transplant donors, by using renal volume measurements derived from multidetector computed… (More)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem whose diagnosis and staging relies upon GFR-estimating equations, including the new CKD-EPI equation.… (More)
