The K/DOQI GUIDELINES advocate use of the Cockroft–Gault equation and MDRD EQUATION to predict glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The validity of these equations in the kidney transplant population is ...
In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Takimoto et al 8 report the results of a phase I and pharmacokinetic study of oxaliplatin in 37 adult cancer patients with renal impairment. This ...
Our local laboratories have been adding glomerular filtration rates (GFR) to our basic metabolic panels. What should we do when the GFR indicates stage 3 chronic kidney disease but the creatinine ...
