Iohexol plasma clearance simplified by dried blood spot testing [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2017 Abstract Background Renal function can be estimated with formulas, which are inaccurate, or measured with gold standard methods, which are reliable but unpractical. We propose to simplify the plasma clearance of iohexol, a gold standard method to measure renal function, by dried blood spot (DBS)
