Determination of Single-Kidney Glomerular Filtration Rate in Human Subjects by Using CT
35
TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that computed tomography (CT)-derived measurements of single-kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) obtained in human subjects with 64-section CT agree with those obtained with iothalamate clearance, a rigorous reference standard and found it to be reproducible and agree well with a reference standard.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate the potential for autologous mesenchymal stem cell to increase blood flow, GFR and attenuate inflammatory injury in post-stenotic kidneys in ARVD.

TL;DR: These data demonstrate relative stability of renal oxygenation with moderate reductions in RBF and GFR but identify a transition to overt hypoxia and inflammatory cytokine release with severely reduced GFR.

From anatomy to function: diagnosis of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis
TL;DR: The case for separately assessing hemodynamic significance of arterial stenosis and functional reserve of renal parenchymal tissue is outlined and the authors consider current and emerging diagnostic techniques for ARAS.
Combination of renal apparent diffusion coefficient and renal parenchymal volume for better assessment of split renal function in chronic kidney disease.
TL;DR: The combination ofsplit renal ADC and RPV obtained by DWI can significantly improve the assessment of split renal function in CKD patients.

TL;DR: This model is a reliable method for the determination of split renal function and orientation of segmental artery clamping during LPN and is consistent with the prediction of the perfusion model in all patients.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.
Graphical Evaluation of Blood-to-Brain Transfer Constants from Multiple-Time Uptake Data. Generalizations:
TL;DR: General equations are derived that can be used to analyze tissue uptake data when the blood–plasma concentration of the test substance cannot be easily measured and for situations when trapping of theTest substance is incomplete and for a combination of these two conditions.

TL;DR: Renal-artery stenting did not confer a significant benefit with respect to the prevention of clinical events when added to comprehensive, multifactorial medical therapy in people with atherosclerotic renal-arterY stenosis and hypertension or chronic kidney disease.
Measured GFR as a Confirmatory Test for Estimated GFR
TL;DR: Methods for GFR measurement using urinary and plasma clearance of exogenous filtration markers are reviewed and focus on urinary clearance of iothalamate and plasmaClearance of iohexol compared with inulin clearance and Plasma clearance of nonradioactive markers are suggested.
