TL;DR: Thiazide-type diuretics are superior in preventing 1 or more major forms of CVD and are less expensive and should be preferred for first-step antihypertensive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lesley A. Inker,Christopher H. Schmid,Hocine Tighiouart,John H. Eckfeldt,Harold I. Feldman,Tom Greene,John W. Kusek,Jane Manzi,Frederick Van Lente,Yaping Lucy Zhang,Josef Coresh,Andrew S. Levey +11 more
TL;DR: The combined creatinine-cystatin C equation performed better than equations based on either of these markers alone and may be useful as a confirmatory test for chronic kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation Between Folate Status, a Common Mutation in Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase, and Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations
Paul F. Jacques,A. G. Bostom,R. R. Williams,R. C. Ellison,John H. Eckfeldt,Irwin H. Rosenberg,Jacob Selhub,Rima Rozen +7 more
TL;DR: Individuals with thermolabile MTHFR may have a higher folate requirement for regulation of plasma homocysteine concentrations; folate supplementation may be necessary to prevent fasting hyperhomocysteinemia in such persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gary L. Myers,W. Greg Miller,Josef Coresh,James K. Fleming,Neil Greenberg,Tom Greene,Thomas H. Hostetter,Andrew S. Levey,Mauro Panteghini,Michael J. Welch,John H. Eckfeldt +10 more
TL;DR: The NKDEP Laboratory Working Group has developed a plan that enables standardization and improved accuracy (trueness) of serum creatinine measurements in clinical laboratories worldwide that includes the use of the estimating equation for GFR based on serum Creatinine concentration that was developed from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The C282y mutation is most common in whites, and most C282Y homozygotes have elevations in serum ferritin levels and transferrin saturation values in nonwhites.
