Selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome: a novel renal phenotype associated with cardiovascular disease and adverse outcomes in diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), defined by a low ratio of estimated glomerular filtration rate using cystatin C (eGFRcys) to estimated glomerular filtration rate using creatinine (eGFRcr), has emerged as a novel kidney dysfunction phenotype. Its role in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between SGHS and the prevalence...
