Background: In patients with malignancy accurate assessment of renal function is important for administration of chemotherapeutic medicines. Measurement of GFR by inulin, EDTA clearance, iohexol and 24 hrs urinary creatinine clearance (Crcl) is cumbersome so creatinine based GFR formulas have been developed for assessment of kidney function and there are variety of GFR formulas available for clinical use. Objective was to determine the correlation of estimated GFR by creatinine-based estimation formulae with measured GFR by 24-hours creatinine clearance.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in which all patients who underwent measured GFR (mGFR) assessment at Oncology Unit of NICH between 1st January to 31st December 2019 were enrolled in the study. Estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of all these patients was calculated by three formulae Original Schwartz (OS), Updated Schwartz (US) and simple height independent equation (SHID). Correlation was made with mGFR by Crcl taken as gold standard using Pearson's correlation and Linear regression analysis. Bland Altman analysis was also done to see the agreement between eGFR with mGFR.
Results: Total sixty (60) patients were enrolled with mean age of 8.2±3.6 years. All three eGFR formulae exhibited a statistically significant positive correlation with mGFR (p-value <0.01). Linear regression analysis also showed a statistically significant relation between mGFR and eGFRs however, the developed regression models for all three formulae showed a low R2 values. Bland-altman analysis revealed that useful level of agreement does not exist between mGFR and eGFR by OS however, SHID and US were found to be in agreement with mGFR by Crcl.
Conclusion: SHID and US equations give a good estimate of GFR and may be used in children with malignancies to estimate GFR.

Comparative efficacy of different drugs in acute heart failure with renal dysfunction: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.
Objective: This network meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of different drugs on cardiac function, renal function, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) accompanied by renal dysfunction.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched to screen all clinical trials of AHF between January 1st 2001 and March 31th 2024. The primary outcome measures were N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, all-cause mortality within 60 days, and cardiovascular mortality.
Performance of Creatinine and Cystatin-Based Equations on Estimating Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate in People with Hematological and Solid Cancers.

Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment is important in clinical practice, with implications for diagnosis, prognostication, and drug dosing. People with cancer are at risk of imprecision in GFR estimation. This cross-sectional study evaluated the performance of various creatinine and cystatin C-based equations in comparison to measured GFR (mGFR) in people with cancer.

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.

Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients frequently experience protein-energy wasting (PEW), which increases their morbidity and mortality rates.
Objective: This study explores the effects of nutritional status and pulmonary function on the short- and long-term mortality of ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Materials And Methods: 67 consecutive ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis were included in the study.
Properties of Uremic Solutes That Allow Their Effective Control by Hemodialysis.

Background: If the GFR falls far enough, uremic symptoms such as anorexia and nausea prompt the initiation of dialysis. Thrice weekly hemodialysis can prevent recurrence of these symptoms even when patients become anuric. To accomplish this it must maintain the plasma levels of the uremic solutes which cause these symptoms lower than they were when dialysis was initiated.
