Estimation of glomerular filtration rate in children

Pediatric Nephrology, 2002
The aim of this study was to develop a method to predict the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children by using the population pharmacokinetic approach. This powerful approach is widely used for drug development in order to study relationships between patients' characteristics (demographic, morphological, biological covariates) and pharmacokinetic ...

Creatinine for estimation of glomerular filtration rate

Pediatric Nephrology, 1992
The 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

Improving glomerular filtration rate estimation

Kidney International, 2019
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations are widely used, but their accuracy is limited by the need for race-ethnicity factors and imprecision of the estimated GFR. In this issue, Bukabau et al. evaluated the accuracy of GFR estimating equations and race-ethnicity factors in 2 centers in sub-Saharan Africa.

Estimating glomerular filtration rate

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2013
The aim is to examine a dominant narrative in nephrology over the past decade: that measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard measure of kidney function; accurate assessment of GFR is critical and paramount; and further efforts to refine GFR estimation should continue.Studies that have simultaneously compared measured GFR and ...

Estimating and measuring glomerular filtration rate in children

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2008
Glomerular 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.

Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate: What Are the Pitfalls?

Current Hypertension Reports, 2011
Because of the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease, estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is necessary to diagnose, stage, and follow the progression of renal impairment, and to adjust the dosage of medications with predominantly renal excretion.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Renal Function

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important clinical indicator of kidney function. It can be used as an independent predictor of long-term survival after cardiac surgery. Definition, methods of measurement, and corrected value by body surface area are briefly introduced in this paper.

Renal function – estimation of glomerular filtration rate

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2006
AbstractAssessment 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 glomerular filtration rate in obese subjects

Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, 2015
The 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.
