Cystatin C for glomerular filtration rate estimation: coming of age.

Assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for clinical practice. GFR is difficult to measure [measured GFR (mGFR)]; instead it is estimated [estimated GFR (eGFR)] by use of the serum concentration of endogenous filtration markers. However, all endogenous filtration markers are affected by factors other than GFR (non-GFR determinants), including generation, renal tubular reabso...

Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Cynomolgus Monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)

To estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), a three-blood-sample method using iodixanol was assessed in comparison with the conventional multisample strategy using inulin. Iodixanol and inulin were coadministered intravenously 40 mg I/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively, to male monkeys, followed by blood collection 60, 90 and 120 min later. A close c...

Estimation of glomerular filtration rate from the serum creatinine concentration.

In patients with renal failure the dose of renally excreted drugs should be reduced in proportion with the degree of impairment of glomerular filtration: in this situation it is appropriate to measure the glomerular filtration rate in order to determine accurately the correct dose. However, as 24 hour urine based creatinine clearance measurements are time consuming and inaccurate, the parameter...
