the CRIC Study
Serum creatinine (Cr) values are frequently used to determine renal function, e.g. glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
GFR in turn is used to classify patients accordingly and to generate epidemiological data or determine inclusion
criteria for clinical studies. Unfortunately, laboratory assessment methods bear wide variations leading potentially
to misclassification or selection bias due to incorrect Cr values.
In this study the authors examined the creatinine assessment variability and developed methods for its correction...............

Fluid overload is relatively common in dialysis patients and is associated with adverse outcomes including hypertension, exacerbation of congestive heart failure, and increased risk of death. It is well-known that fluid overload sometimes results in a need for emergent dialysis outside of regularly scheduled dialysis sessions..............
