Estimation of Creatinine Clearance in Patients with Unstable Renal Function
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurement of creatinine clearance (CCr) has long been a problem in sick patients, largely because of the need to collect a carefully timed urine specimen to determine it. However, a number of years ago, several methods were developed to estimate CCr without a urine specimen [1-4]. However, all these approaches only considered the situation where serum creatinine was stable. Because of this, a dynamic approach to the problem was developed.

متن کاملEstimation of creatinine clearance in patients with unstable renal function, without a urine specimen.
BACKGROUND There is a significant need to estimate creatinine clearance easily in acutely ill patients with unstable renal function, who have rapidly changing serum creatinine values and who need careful individualization of drug dosage, all without the problems associated with having to collect the traditional carefully timed urine specimen. METHOD The daily change in the total amount of cre...

Introduction: Kidney transplantation from a live donor has many advantages, but the donor should undergo a major surgery and accept potential morbidity and mortality. In this study, we evaluated the long term effects of nephrectomy on renal function and blood pressure of kidney donors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 195 kidney donors. The controls were 100 healthy individu...
