Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between acute serum creatinine changes in acute renal failure (ARF), before specialized treatment begins, and in-hospital mortality, ...

Higher serum creatinine levels that are still within normal ranges are associated with a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer, according to a new study. Compared with patients in the lowest ...

Pre-kidney transplant high creatinine levels in patients on peritoneal dialysis increases the risk for delayed graft function and, among those aged 50 year or older, death-censored graft loss.

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 ...
