Measuring glomerular filtration rate using 51Cr-EDTA

68Ga-EDTA PET/CT imaging and plasma clearance for glomerular filtration rate quantification: comparison to conventional 51Cr-EDTA.

UNLABELLED Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can accurately be determined using (51)Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma clearance counting but is time-consuming and requires technical skills and equipment not always available in imaging departments. (68)Ga-EDTA can be readily available using an onsite generator, and PET/CT enables both imaging of renal function and accurate camera-b...

Estimation of residual glomerular filtration rate in peritoneal dialysis patients using cystatin C: comparison with 51Cr-EDTA clearance.

BACKGROUND Measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important assessment in peritoneal dialysis patients. In clinical practice, it is commonly measured by calculating the mean of the urinary clearance of urea and creatinine (GFR(UrCl)) but this process is time consuming and unreliable. We wished to compare several estimates of GFR including residual GFR estimated from cystatin C (GFR(Cy...

Measuring glomerular filtration rate using chromium-51 EDTA: body surface area normalization before or after Brøchner-Mortensen correction?

A simple method for measuring glomerular filtration rate in dogs.

A technique for measuring glomerular filtration rate (by six-sample plasma clearance) and extracellular fluid volume is described. The results obtained for glomerular filtration rat per extracellular fluid volume with a three blood sample technique are also presented. Concurrently with the blood sample techniques measuring plasma clearance, glomerular filtration rate per extracellular fluid vol...

A single-injection method for measuring glomerular filtration rate.

A method for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been developed that is based on an analysis of the total area under the plasma radioactivity-time curve after a single intravenous injection of [125I]iothalamate. Glomerular filtration rates obtained by this method (method A) and those obtained with two widely used single-injection techniques, the slope-intercept method (method B), a...
