HPLC estimation of iothalamate to measure glomerular filtration rate in humans. [PDF]
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually determined by estimation of iothalamate (IOT) clearance. We have developed and validated an accurate and robust method for the analysis of IOT in human plasma and urine.

Is 125I iothalamate an ideal marker for glomerular filtration? [PDF]
Is 125I iothalamate an ideal marker for glomerular filtration? The triiodinated angiographic contrast medium, iothalamate, has (usually labelled 125I) been used extensively as a marker for glomerular filtration. We have studied the renal handling of 125I
