ALB and kidney disorder: Levey et al. (2009) established a new equation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), named CKD-EPI, which could assess the stages of kidney diseases (CKD stage) (Levey et al., 2009). Gao et al. (2011) also established a diagnostic model for IgA nephropathy with 6 serum biochemical parameters, including ALB, CK, Cr, HDL, CA125 and TB (Gao et al., 2011).
