A More Accurate Method To Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate from Serum Creatinine: A New Prediction Equation

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1999
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is traditionally considered the best overall index of renal function in health and disease (1). Because GFR is difficult to measure in clinical practice, most clinicians estimate the GFR from the serum creatinine ...

Revised equations for estimated GFR from serum creatinine in Japan.

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2009
BACKGROUND Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is limited by differences in creatinine generation among ethnicities. Our previously reported GFR-estimating equations for Japanese had limitations because all participants had a GFR less than 90 ...

Using Standardized Serum Creatinine Values in the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2006
Context Guidelines recommend that laboratories estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with equations that use serum creatinine level, age, sex, and ethnicity. Standardizing creatinine measurements across clinical laboratories should reduce variability

Creatine and creatinine metabolism.

Physiological Reviews, 2000
The goal of this review is to present a comprehensive survey of the many intriguing facets of creatine (Cr) and creatinine metabolism, encompassing the pathways and regulation of Cr biosynthesis and degradation, species and tissue distribution of the ...

Serum cystatin C is superior to serum creatinine as a marker of kidney function: a meta-analysis.

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2002
BACKGROUND Serum cystatin C (Cys C) has been proposed as a simple, accurate, and rapid endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in research and clinical practice. However, there are conflicting reports regarding the superiority of Cys C over

A simple estimate of glomerular filtration rate in children derived from body length and plasma creatinine.

Pediatrics, 1976
Based on statistical analysis of data in 186 children, a formula was derived which allows accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from plasma creatinine and body lenght (GFR(ml/min/1.73 sq m) = 0.55 length (cm)/Per (mg/dl).

Blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio in the general population and in patients with acute heart failure

Heart, 2016
Objective The blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine (BUN/creatinine) ratio has been proposed as a useful parameter in acute heart failure (AHF), but data on the normal range and the added value of the ratio compared with its separate components in patients ...

How to use… serum creatinine, cystatin C and GFR

Archives of Disease in Childhood: Education & Practice Edition, 2016
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best overall measure of kidney function. The GFR is relatively low at birth but increases through infancy and early childhood to reach adult levels of approximately 120 mL/min/1.73 m2 by age 2.

Recognition and Sensing of Creatinine.

Angewandte Chemie, 2016
Current methods for creatinine quantification suffer from significant drawbacks when aiming to combine accuracy, simplicity, and affordability. Here, an unprecedented synthetic receptor, an aryl-substituted calix[4]pyrrole with a monophosphonate bridge ...
