Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, USC scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the ...
Adopting a kidney-friendly diet like the DASH or Mediterranean diet and managing sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein intake may help improve GFR by reducing kidney strain. Maintaining heart ...
