Comparisons between validated estimated glomerular filtration rate equations and isotopic glomerular filtration rate in HIV patients.
OBJECTIVE Understanding how best to measure renal function in HIV-infected patients is critical because estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in HIV-infected patients can be affected by ethnicity and body composition. We validated the available eGFR equations and compared them to the plasma Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-DTPA) clearance in HIV-infected patients. DESIGN Test o...
متن کاملEstimated glomerular filtration rate.
The recent article about estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Levey and colleagues (1) is remarkable. The authors suggest that the new equation may still have some bias and especially may have less precision in patients with GFRs greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . This is even more important if the GFR is greater than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . In the paper's Methods section, Levey an...

متن کاملPerformance comparison of estimated glomerular filtration rate equations
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be measured by direct means, but can be assessed by urinary clearance of exogenous filtration markers such as inulin, iohexol, or iothalamate [1,2]. However, for several reasons, direct GFR measurements are not suitable for use in routine laboratory settings. Hence, it is more appropriate to derive an estimated GFR (eGFR) from various equations. Howev...
متن کاملUsing glomerular filtration rate estimating equations: clinical and laboratory considerations.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations, infrequently used just a decade ago, are now recommended for the evaluation of kidney function for routine clinical care and are routinely reported by the vast majority of clinical laboratories (1 ). Current clinical guidelines recommend estimated GFR (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (eGFRCr) as the initial diagnostic test, and either a mea...
