On the line almost every laboratory calculates, and almost nobody reads.
A patient is told their blood work is normal. She turns the page around and points at eGFR — the measure of kidney function that sits on nearly every panel and goes unnoticed. What follows is an argument about why the kidneys and the heart cannot be assessed separately.
