New GFR estimation methods in children
Background and Objective: Febrile convulsions (FC) are the most common seizure disorder in children. Lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with FC who is suspected to intracranial infections. This study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, and protein and glucose levels in cere-brospinal fluids (CFS) of children hospitalized with FC. Methods: In this cross ...

متن کاملEstimation of Glomerular Filteration Rate (GFR)
I. Clearance Methods:The concept of renal clearance was introduced as a way of expressing the relation between the excretion per unit time and the concentration in the plasma which is obviously an index of kidneys ability to clear the blood of any substance (1). Measurements of GFR are traditionally based on the renal clearance of a marker in plasma, expressed as the volume of plasma completely...
متن کاملAccuracy of GFR estimation in obese patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Adequate estimation of renal function in obese patients is essential for the classification of patients in CKD category as well as the dose adjustment of drugs. However, the body size descriptor for GFR indexation is still debatable, and formulas are not validated in patients with extreme variations of weight. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This study ...
متن کاملGFR estimation: from physiology to public health.
Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for clinical practice, research, and public health. Appropriate interpretation of estimated GFR (eGFR) requires understanding the principles of physiology, laboratory medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics used in the development and validation of GFR estimating equations. Equations developed in diverse populations are less biased at h...
