“…Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis and is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular death [1][2][3]. Typically, renal function is assessed through serum creatinine (SCr) which, nevertheless, is limited by dependency on age, sex and body mass.…”
GFR, especially if calculated with the CG formula, is an important prognostic indicator for IHD among hospitalized patients, and predicts survival more accurately than SCr and conventional coronary risk factors.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
