The importance of metrological traceability on the validity of creatinine measurement as an index of renal function International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) IFCC Scientific Division, Working Group on Standardization of Glomerular Filtration Rate

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is currently considered the best overall index of kidney function. The possibility that laboratories might routinely report an estimated GFR has become practically feasible with the development of a formula, the ‘‘four-variable’’ This position paper was commissioned by IFCC, but it does not carry any official IFCC endorsement. IFCC Sections printed in J. Cli...

Enzymatic assays for creatinine: time for action International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) IFCC Scientific Division

Accurate serum creatinine measurements in glomerular filtration rate estimation (eGFR) using equations are critical to ongoing global public health efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease. There is now an ongoing activity to promote worldwide standardization of methods to determine creatinine together with the introduction of a revised eGFR equation appropriate ...
