    • The Association Between Metabolic Syndrome, Hyperfiltration, and Long-Term GFR Decline in the General Population 

      Bystad, Erikka Wikan; Stefansson, Vidar Tor Nyborg; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Melsom, Toralf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-01)
      Introduction: One-quarter of adults worldwide meet the criteria of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS increases the risk of diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease. However, the association between MetS, hyperfiltration, and long-term glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline in the general population is unknown.<p> <p>Methods: In the Renal Iohexol Clearance Survey (RENIS), ...

    • Association of metabolic syndrome with hyperfiltration in a general non-diabetic population – The Renal Iohexol Clearance Survey 

      Bystad, Erikka Wikan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-30)
      <p>Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) affects approximately one quarter of the world, making it a global epidemic (1). Although MS has been associated with increased risk of rapid decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (2), only a few studies have investigated the association of MS with abnormally elevated GFR, known as renal hyperfiltration (RHF). Previous studies of MS and RHF were limited ...
