Journal ArticleDOI
A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate
Andrew S. Levey,Lesley A. Stevens,Christopher H. Schmid,Yaping (Lucy) Zhang,Alejandro F. Castro,Harold I. Feldman,John W. Kusek,Paul W. Eggers,Frederick Van Lente,Tom Greene,Josef Coresh +10 more
TL;DR: The CKD-EPI creatinine equation is more accurate than the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation and could replace it for routine clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using standardized serum creatinine values in the modification of diet in renal disease study equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate.
Andrew S. Levey,Josef Coresh,Tom Greene,Lesley A. Stevens,Yaping (Lucy) Zhang,Stephen Hendriksen,John W. Kusek,Frederick Van Lente +7 more
TL;DR: The MDRD Study equation has now been reexpressed for use with a standardized serum creatinine assay, allowing GFR estimates to be reported in clinical practice by using standardized serumcreatinine and overcoming this limitation to the current use of GFR estimating equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States
Josef Coresh,Elizabeth Selvin,Lesley A. Stevens,Jane Manzi,John W. Kusek,Paul W. Eggers,Frederick Van Lente,Andrew S. Levey +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of CKD in the United States in 1999-2004 is higher than it was in 1988-1994 and this increase is partly explained by the increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and raises concerns about future increased incidence of kidney failure and other complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine and cystatin C.
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
The Effects of Dietary Protein Restriction and Blood-Pressure Control on the Progression of Chronic Renal Disease
Saulo Klahr,Andrew S. Levey,Gerald J. Beck,Arlene W. Caggiula,Lawrence G. Hunsicker,John W. Kusek,Gary E. Striker +6 more
TL;DR: Restricting protein intake and controlling hypertension delay the progression of renal disease in animals and in patients with various chronic renal diseases.
