Trajectories of Glomerular Filtration Rate and Progression to End Stage Renal Disease After Kidney Transplantation
Recruiting
The gold standard for characterizing chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is commonly estimated in both native and transplanted kidneys for patient monitoring and therapeutic management and ultimately guides decision-making about whether a patient needs renal replacement therapy. In particular, the National Kidney Foundation has defined CKD stages according to estimated GFR (eGFR) values and in several studies, the eGFR slope or change has been found to be... Read More
