Creatinine and Surveys: An Assessment [PDF]
We analysed the results of surveys on creatinine held in The Netherlands during the years 1992, 1993 and 1994. Assay results of 113 samples were reviewed: 88 human sera and 25 samples of animal origin. The results of 5 creatinine assays, 4 based on the Jaffé reaction and 1 enzymatic procedure, are discussed.

Influence of the background activity region selection on the measurement of glomerular filtration rate using the Gates method [PDF]
Background/Aim. The most frequent method for the assessment of glomerular filtration rate GFR) in clinical practice is clearance of creatinine, clearance of chromium-51 radiolabelled ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (51Cr-EDTA) and clearance of ...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and blood pressure in a sample of obese Egyptian adolescents
Background/aim Obesity is a major risk factor for some comorbid conditions. Our goal was to study the relationship between obesity and kidney function in adolescents using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as well as to study blood pressure (BP)
