Creatinine for estimation of glomerular filtration rate
Pediatric Nephrology, 1992The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma creatinine concentration (PCr) and creatinine clearance (CCr) for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Inulin clearance (Cin) was used as the reference standard for GFR. Thirty-nine concurrent Cin and CCr studies provided data for comparing Cin with the measured CCr and with the calculated CCr

Estimating glomerular filtration rate in obese subjects
Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, 2015The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated by an equation that incorporates patients' age, gender, creatinine and weight or, ideally, lean body mass (LBM). However, measuring LBM is not easy if the patient is obese. The aim was to determine an acceptable bedside method for GFR estimation in obese patients.

Estimating absolute glomerular filtration rate in children
Pediatric Nephrology, 2006Normal values of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children are often expressed in a value adjusted to adult ideal body surface area. These values work well for many clinical situations, but in infants and children, especially those with atypical body mass, they may not accurately reflect renal function.

Renal function – estimation of glomerular filtration rate
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2006AbstractAssessment and follow-up of renal dysfunction is important in the early detection and management of chronic kidney disease. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the most accurate measurement of kidney disease and is reduced before the onset of clinical symptoms.

Estimating and measuring glomerular filtration rate in children
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2008Glomerular filtration rate is the best determinant of kidney function in children. A decline in glomerular filtration rate may be the only sign of renal disease. A knowledge of glomerular filtration rate allows the clinician to appropriately dose medications, administer fluids, and intervene early to prevent end-stage renal failure.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate explained.
Missouri medicine, 2011Accurately estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is unfortunately not an easy task. Multiple methods for doing this have been developed over the past few decades and each newly adopted method, although better than its predecessor, has been far from perfect. The method currently in vogue, the MDRD equation, is no exception.

Anemia and estimated glomerular filtration rates.
Annals of clinical and laboratory science, 2015To determine the relationship between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the prevalence of anemia that has potential implications for reporting results of the eGFR.Serum creatinine and hemoglobin test results from 18,474 outpatients aged 50 years or older were reviewed.

Measuring and estimating glomerular filtration rate in children
Pediatric Nephrology, 2016Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best index for kidney function in health and disease. Knowledge of the GFR is essential for the detection (diagnosis) and monitoring of renal function during disease progression and for ensuring correct medication doses.
