Error 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 کاملNotable steps in obtaining improved estimates for glomerular filtration rate.
Knowledge of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is of crucial importance in the management of patients. In addition to a general evaluation of kidney function, a more precise assessment is valuable on many occasions, e.g., to detect early impairment of renal function, to allow correct dosage of drugs cleared by the kidneys, to monitor renal transplants, and to evaluate patients before use of ...

However, a good reference text if you would like to buy one is Koeppen and Stanton’s Renal Physiology, 4 edition, Mosby Elsevier, 2007, For this particular lecture (glomerular filtration), Chapter 3 is the reference chapter to read in this...
متن کاملCystatin 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...
