For many people with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a condition in which immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies accumulate in the kidneys and trigger inflammation, kidney function stays stable for many years. For ...

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

The MARIPOSA trial demonstrates that amivantamab plus lazertinib significantly reduces resistance and extends survival in EGFR-mutated NSCLC compared to osimertinib. Dual inhibition of EGFR and MET by ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Newer eGFR calculations that do not consider race show a link between kidney function and dementia. Equations ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

"Clinicians performing tumor biopsy need to ensure that there’s adequate tissue for both diagnosis and NGS testing. Having immediate pathology review of biopsy specimens in the operating room can ...
