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.

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.

Estimation of glomerular filtration rate in anorectic adolescents

Pediatric Nephrology, 1989
Severe malnutrition has been associated with a decrease in fat and lean body mass, as well as in renal function. This study was designed to evaluate the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR, ml/min per 1.73 m2) in malnourished teenagers, by using the formula GFR = kL/Pcr (where L is body height, Pcr is plasma creatinine concentration and k is ...

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.

Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Preeclamptic Patients

American Journal of Perinatology, 2007
Accurate estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with preeclampsia is often difficult or impossible to accomplish. In this study, the Cockcroft-Gault (CG), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and MDRD2 formulas were evaluated for their accuracy in determining GFR in the setting of preeclampsia.

Estimating absolute glomerular filtration rate in children

Pediatric Nephrology, 2006
Normal 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.

A simple method for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation, 1977
A simple method is presented for indirect estimation of the glomerular filtration rate from two venous blood samples, drawn after a single injection of a small dose of [125I]sodium iothalamate (10 muCi). The method does not require exact dosage, as the first sample, taken a few minutes (t = 5 min) after injection, is used to normalize the value of the ...

Measuring and estimating glomerular filtration rate in children

Pediatric Nephrology, 2016
Glomerular 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.

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.

Utility of the Japanese Glomerular Filtration Rate Equation in Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate of Donor Kidney

Transplantation Proceedings, 2016
An equation for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is generally used for evaluating renal function in Japan.To assess the accuracy of the preoperative eGFR for estimating kidney donors' measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR).Between April 2009 and August 2014, 91 Japanese living kidney donors were included in this study.
