Concordance between estimated glomerular filtration rate using equations and that measured using an imaging method.

Background: Guidelines recommend estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using creatinine-based equations (CBE).

Aim: To evaluate the agreement between GFR measured using radionuclide imaging and estimated using creatinine-based equations.

Material And Methods: In 421 patients aged 54 ± 17 years (47% women) GFR was estimated using the MDRD-4, CKD-EPI and the body surface adjusted Cockroft Gault equation.

[Non-critical care hospital-acquired acute kidney injury. Analysis of 101 cases].

Background: Non-critical care Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury (Non-ICU HA-AKI) is a preventable common complication.

Aim: To analyze its risk factors and outcomes in a general hospital ward.

Material And Methods: A retrospective paired case-control 1:2 study was carried out from April to December 2014.
