Effect of treatment on urinary kidney injury molecule-1 in IgA nephropathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Several equations have been developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The common equations used were derived from populations predominantly comprised of Caucasians with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some of the equations provide a correction factor for African-Americans due to their relatively...
