Estimated glomerular filtration rate is considered the principal measure of kidney function and, together with albuminuria, is a relevant prognostic factor for the development of end-stage kidney disease. Due to the strong association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and clinical events, such as commencement of dialysis, cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause death, estimated glomerular filtration rate is crucial for clinical decision-making in terms of scheduling follow-up and pharmacological interventions, and planning renal replacement therapies in advanced chronic kidney disease. In this review we discuss the available methods for measuring glomerular filtration rate and for estimating it through mathematical equations developed over the last few decades. We summarize the prognostic association of different percentages of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline and the main clinical outcomes, and how treatments modify estimated glomerular filtration rate decline and the risk of future endpoints. We also examine the role of pre-clinical trial slope and that of estimated glomerular filtration rate as a useful biomarker when evaluating patients for inclusion into both observational and interventional studies.

Abstract

Estimated glomerular filtration rate is considered the principal measure of kidney function and, together with albuminuria, is a relevant prognostic factor for the development of end-stage kidney disease. Due to the strong association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and clinical events, such as commencement of dialysis, cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause death, estimated glomerular filtration rate is crucial for clinical decision-making in terms of scheduling follow-up and pharmacological interventions, and planning renal replacement therapies in advanced chronic kidney disease. In this review we discuss the available methods for measuring glomerular filtration rate and for estimating it through mathematical equations developed over the last few decades. We summarize the prognostic association of different percentages of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline and the main clinical outcomes, and how treatments modify estimated glomerular filtration rate decline and the risk of future endpoints. We also examine the role of pre-clinical trial slope and that of estimated glomerular filtration rate as a useful biomarker when evaluating patients for inclusion into both observational and interventional studies.
