Serum BTP measurement is sometimes believed to be an alternative marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment. The aim of the present work was to investigate the correlation between creatinine, cystatin C, and BTP values in sera and to compare the diagnostic efficacy for serum BTP and cystatin C with the glomerular filtration rate estimate. 25 individuals were tested. GFR was estimated...

Kidney function has been traditionally identified with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, the kidney has multiple functions beyond filtration and a careful evaluation of its whole spectrum of activities should be carried out. Furthermore, the kidney presents a functional reserve capacity both at glomerular and tubular level. In presence of appropriate stimuli, patients with intact nephr...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can only be measured indirectly1. The gold standard is the renal clearance of inulin. Because it is cumbersome, alternative methods such as the renal clearance of iothalamate and plasma clearance of iohexol were developed. Other methods estimate GFR using equations based on endogenous filtration markers such as creatinine and cystatin C2. The Chronic Kidney Dise...

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in small-animal patients and carries a guarded prognosis with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in oligoanuric dogs. Fenoldopam, a selective dopamine agonist, has been shown to increase urine output in healthy dogs and cats; however, the mechanism of action is unknown. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of feno...

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...

OBJECTIVE: Diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. Arterial resistance index (RI) may predict deterioration in kidney function. This study was designed to compare renal arterial RI in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients i...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard in kidney function assessment and is used to determine progression of kidney disease and drug-induced kidney toxicity. One of the most accepted ways to assess GFR is by measuring the rate of disappearance of labeled inulin from the blood; as inulin is completely filtered at the kidneys’ glomeruli (but neither secreted nor reabsorbed by the t...

Aim: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation is an important parameter for assessment of kidney function and management the patient with suspected function. These mobile applications hence change way better care managed. In research project, there attempt to perform comparative GFR Google APPs CKD PREPARE India APP. 
 Methods: app store was searched identify all which may help in GFR. ...
