Moderate weight loss on semaglutide does not appear to meaningfully distort creatinine-based eGFR. For primary care, the harder question is when to order cystatin C.

The glomeruli are tiny tubules that filter blood in the kidneys. Muscles produce a waste product called creatinine, which is removed from blood plasma by the kidneys during this glomerular filtration ...

Adding the measurement of cystatin C to that of serum creatinine to determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improves accuracy, but the effect on detection, staging, and risk ...

Doctors use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) scores to measure kidney functioning. African American people typically have higher eGFR scores than people of other ethnicities. People with ...
