First Report on the Percentiles of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Iranian Children Using the 2009 Schwartz Equations
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely considered the best overall index of renal function. The Schwartz equations are designed for measuring the GFR in children between 1 and 16 years of age. In the present study, we investigated the percentiles of the GFR in a general population of Iranian children with no known renal disease via the 2009 Schwartz equations (updated and combined equat...
متن کاملBeta trace protein as GFR marker in children
Background and Objective: Serum creatinine is the most used endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but it also has multiple limitations. Therefore, some surrogate GFR markers, such as beta trace protein, have been introduced for GFR estimation. The aim of our study was to estimate GFR by serum beta trace protein using three available equations and compare them to DTPA GFR as the...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Relationship between Serum Ferritin Level and Renal Function in Patients with Thalassemia Major
Background and Aim: Serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia major is an indicator of iron overload, which is the main cause of damage to various organs of the body in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum ferritin level and renal function in thalassemia major patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectio...
متن کاملHyperuricemia in pediatric renal transplant recipients.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the prevalence and confounding clinical variables of hyperuricemia in pediatric kidney transplant patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 151 pediatric renal transplant recipients who received their grafts at Akdeniz University Medical Faculty in Antalya, Turkey, with a follow-up longer than 6 months. This retrospect...
متن کاملGlomerular filtration rate determination by creatinine and cystatin-C in patients with acute pyelonephritis
Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and monitoring of it in any patient on nephrotoxic drugs is very important. Recently, cystatin C (cys-C) has been introduced as a better marker for determining and monitoring renal function than creatinine especially in a mild decrease of GFR. This study was done to assess the change of GFR measurement based on serum Cys-C and creatini...
