I get a lot of questions about how to interpret low eGFR in athletes and why the eGFR might even be low in the first place.
This started me on a series of posts to help clinicians figure out what is happening for their patient.
The posts in this series are:
Are high protein diets for athletes safe for kidney health?
Why are athletes at risk of kidney injury?
Do eGFR calculations with Cystatin C correlated better with outcomes for Athletes?
What’s the difference between cystatin C and creatinine to calculate eGFR?
Can you trust eGFR calculations on athletes or people with cachexia?
Are creatinine and cystatin C markers of muscle mass?
