Prevention of radiographic-contrast-agent-induced reductions in renal function by acetylcysteine.
- M. Tepel, M. van der Giet, C. Schwarzfeld, U. Laufer, D. Liermann, W. Zidek
- Medicine
- The New England journal of medicine
- 20 July 2000
BACKGROUND
Radiographic contrast agents can cause a reduction in renal function that may be due to reactive oxygen species. Whether the reduction can be prevented by the administration of… Expand
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.
