A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.

Heun functions, which generalise the well‐known hypergeometric functions, are solutions to the Heun differential equation – a second‐order linear differential equation with four regular singular ...

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 ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...
