Serum Creatinine and Fat-free Mass (Lean Body Mass) [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2000 Serum creatinine is widely used as an index of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (1). However, it is not a sensitive index because GFR may have to decrease by >50% before serum creatinine becomes “abnormal”, and this may be at least partly attributable to the wide reference interval for serum creatinine (44–124 μmol/L).

Measurement of Fat-Free Mass in Infants [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1995 Body composition data are important for adequate monitoring of growth and nutritional status in infants. 18O Isotope dilution techniques (ID18-O) are widely used to estimate total body water (TBW) and calculate fat-free mass (FFM). A problem of isotope dilution is an underestimation of TBW by the extrapolation to t = O approach and an overestimation of
