The 2015 Canadian Hypertension Education Program recommendations for blood pressure measurement, diagnosis, assessment of risk, prevention, and treatment of hypertension. (2013, background): “3 Kidney The diagnosis of hypertension-induced renal damage is based on the finding of a reduced renal function and/or the detection of elevated urinary excretion of albumin [207].”

NAFLD: a multisystem disease. (2015, background): “The use of direct measurements of GFR should be encouraged as the creatinine-based equations are not accurate in estimating GFR, especially for patients with severe obesity or cirrhosis [141].”
Chronic kidney disease as a global public health problem: approaches and initiatives - a position statement from Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. (2007, background): “6% of non-institutionalized adults are estimated to have CKD.(5,6) Studies from Europe, Australia, and Asia confirm the high prevalence of CKD.”
2007 ESH‐ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension (2007, methodology): “(241) Renal insufficiency is now classified according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the abbreviated MDRD formula that requires age, gender, race and serum creatinine.”
A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (2009, methodology): “The GFR cannot be measured easily in clinical practice; instead, it is estimated from equations by using serum creatinine level, age, race, sex, and body size (1, 2).”
Factors Other than GFR Affecting Serum Cystatin C Levels (2008, methodology): “Serum creatinine assays were calibrated to standardized serum creatinine values at the Cleveland Clinic Research Laboratory.(1,22) The results of the calibration procedures have been previously described.”
