Individual glomerular filtration rates in renovascular hypertension.
The increased success achieved with cadaveric transplantation makes it unethical to consider using a kidney from a young live donor, especially from a woman in the reproductive period of life. There may still occasionally be circumstances in which a kidney from a parent could reasonably be used, especially if the parent is old enough not to have responsibility for a young family. It is complete...
متن کاملError Estimates for Calculated Glomerular Filtration Rates
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of kidney function. It is usually estimated from serum concentrations of cystatin C or creatinine although there has been considerable debate in the literature about (i) the best equation to use and (ii) the variability in the correlation between the concentrations of creatinine and cystatin C. The equations for GFR can be written in a general form ...

متن کاملClinical impact of reporting estimated glomerular filtration rates.
When clinicians speak of kidney function, they almost always are talking about the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The kidney has many other functions, however. Most excretory functions are related in some way to glomerular filtration, at least as it is modified by the variable reabsorption of water and some solutes and the addition of yet other solutes via secretion. The kidney also has impo...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration: an overview.
The formation of urine is a process that begins with glomerular filtration and is greatly influenced by changes in renal hemodynamics. Selective filtration of the blood is possible because of the unique characteristics of the glomerulus and renal circulation. Many factors interact to maintain a consistent blood flow allowing filtration and urine formation to continue despite systemic changes in...
