Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as a marker of kidney function is important in health and disease management because decreased kidney function is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, progression of kidney disease, predisposition to acute kidney injury (AKI), and for drug dosage modification. While measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is acknowledged as the most accurate method for evaluating kidney function, it is at present not feasible to be applied in the clinical arena. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is preferred due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and seamless integration into standard clinical practice for kidney function evaluation.

Unlabelled: is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections in immunocompromised individuals, who often require prolonged antibiotic therapy. The emergence of carbapenemase-producing has further complicated the management of nosocomial infections, limiting therapeutic options. Cefiderocol has recently emerged as a promising antipseudomonal agent, using the bacterial iron transport system to gain entry into the cell; however, there have been reports of resistant to cefiderocol.
