Indexing of renal function parameters by body surface area: intelligence or folly?
Indexation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by body surface area (BSA) is often done without raising any questions. In this article, we will shortly review the limitations of such indexation and illustrate potential errors in clinical practice due to this indexation. Adjusting the GFR by BSA is particularly misleading in patients with abnormal body size (obese and anorectic). We will also in...
متن کاملErrors induced by indexing glomerular filtration rate for body surface area: reductio ad absurdum.
In this article, we will discuss an important but underrecognized topic in nephrology. Indeed, indexing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for body surface area (BSA) is often done by habit, because everyone does it and without raising any questions. Only a scant literature on this topic has been published in recent decades. Regarding guidelines on estimating and measuring GFR, only the Australia...
متن کاملIs Body Surface Area the Appropriate Index for Glomerular Filtration Rate?
Indexing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for body surface area (BSA) is routine practice, but criticism has been raised on indexing GFR for BSA in children, obese and anorectic patients. Over the years other ways of indexing GFR have been proposed, including height, lean body mass, body weight, ideal weight, plasma volume, total body water and especially extracellular volume (ECV). Based on a ...
متن کاملMeasurement of glomerular filtration rate in obese patients: pitfalls and potential consequences on drug therapy.
Epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is associated with chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease. These studies have used creatinine derived equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and have indexed GFR to body surface area (BSA). However, the use of equations using creatinine as a surrogate marker of glomerular filtration and the indexation of GFR for BSA can...

UNLABELLED Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of age, gender, obesity and scaling on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and extracellular fluid volume (ECV) in healthy subjects. METHODS This is a retrospective multi-centre study of 1878 healthy prospective kidney transplant donors (819 men) from 15 centres. Age and body mass index (BMI) were not significantly different ...
