Measured GFR as a confirmatory test for estimated GFR.
Clinical assessment of kidney function is central to the practice of medicine. GFR is widely accepted as the best index of kidney function in health and disease, and accurate values are required for optimal decision making. Estimated GFR based on serum creatinine is now widely reported by clinical laboratories, and in most circumstances, estimated GFR is sufficient for clinical decision making....
متن کاملReduced cystatin C-estimated GFR and increased creatinine-estimated GFR in comparison with iohexol-estimated GFR in a hyperthyroid patient: A case report
INTRODUCTION Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for the evaluation of patients with kidney disease, and for treating patients with drugs that are eliminated from the circulation by the kidneys. Cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine for estimating GFR in several studies. However, studies showing that thyroid function has an impact on cystatin C have ...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) during and after STEMI: a single-centre, methodological study comparing estimated and measured GFR
OBJECTIVES To validate the performance of the most commonly used formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against measured GFR during the index hospitalisation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). SETTING Single centre, methodological study. PARTICIPANTS 40 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention-treated STEMI were included between November 2011 and Fe...
متن کاملArticle Estimated GFR and Fracture Risk: A Population-Based Study
Design, setting, participants, & measurements This study identified 1,815,943 community-dwelling adults who had at least one outpatient serum creatinine measurement between 2002 and 2008. Patients with eGFR ,15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and those who required dialysis were excluded. Incident fractures of the hip, wrist, and vertebrae were identified using diagnostic and procedure codes. Poisson regres...
متن کاملEstimated GFR vs creatinine clearance for drug dosing.
Stevens et al suggest that the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an acceptable substitute for estimated or measured creatinine clearance (CCr) as an index for adjusting drug doses in patients with chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury. However, others have raised concerns that injudicious use of estimated GFR a...
