The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function. [6] Adding a race adjustment to kidney algorithms results in higher eGFR values in people identified as black. [7] [8] [9] Reasons for this vary, but it is thought to partially stem from the notion that Black persons are more muscular. [8]
3) CKD3 (moderate) – GFR of 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 4) CKD4 (severe) – GFR of 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 5) CKD5 kidney failure – GFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 Some people add CKD5D for those stage 5 patients requiring dialysis; many patients in CKD5 are not yet on dialysis.
EGFR may refer to: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a transmembrane receptor protein in humans Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function
Hypocalcemia results from 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D 3 deficiency (caused by high FGF-23 and reduced kidney mass) [30] and the skeletal resistance to the calcemic action of parathyroid hormone. [31] Osteocytes are responsible for the increased production of FGF-23, which is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase (responsible for the ...

Mutations that lead to EGFR overexpression (known as upregulation or amplification) have been associated with a number of cancers, including adenocarcinoma of the lung (40% of cases), anal cancers, [18] glioblastoma (50%) and epithelian tumors of the head and neck (80–100%). [19]
