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.

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.

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 glomerular filtration rate].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
Almost all laboratories in The Netherlands report an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) whenever a value for plasma creatinine is requested. This formula is based on gender and age, besides the plasma creatinine concentration, and sometimes also a correction for race is applied.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate, renal scan and volumetric assessment of the kidney before and after partial nephrectomy: a review of the current literature.

Minerva urologica e nefrologica = The Italian journal of urology and nephrology, 2017
INTRODUCTION The best method for assessing renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN) continues to be a matter of debate. Early studies evaluated kidney function by measuring serum creatinine (sCr) and/or the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

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.

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.

Risk of intravenous contrast material-mediated acute kidney injury: a propensity score-matched study stratified by baseline-estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Radiology, 2014
PURPOSE To determine the effect of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on the causal association between intravenous iodinated contrast material exposure and subsequent development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in propensity score-matched
