Patients that receive heart transplants with DCD hearts have comparable early renal outcomes to patients that receive hearts donated after brain death.
One of the early products of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study has been an updated equation for estimating GFR in children on the basis of demographic and laboratory parameters.
[13] Renal insufficiency may be disease related, caused by ureteral blockage, prior nephrectomy or, more often, age-related decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). [14] The latter is ...
Stage 1. Mild kidney damage with an eGFR above 90 milliliters or greater per minute Stage 2. Mild damage with 60-89 milliliters per minute Stage 3a. Moderate damage with 45-59 milliliters per ...
If their GFR is below 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or with high blood creatinine, they should be seen by a kidney specialist or board-certified internist with long experience in care for patients with CKD.
