eGFR in CSF-flow disorders - a representation of comorbid state or an element of the underlying pathophysiology? (original) (raw)

This study examines the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow disorders, highlighting the common occurrence of reduced eGFR in patients with such conditions. The analysis includes 182 patients grouped by CSF-flow disorder subtype and assesses their eGFR levels against established clinical guidelines. Findings indicate that a significant proportion of patients exhibit reduced eGFR, suggesting its potential role as a comorbidity marker that might influence surgical outcomes and reflect underlying pathophysiology.
