GFR has traditionally been estimated based on 24-hour creatinine clearance; however, a calculation of estimated GFR (eGFR) is now recommended by theNational Institutes of Health (NIH)and theNational Kidney Foundation. eGFR based on serum creatinine and/or cystatin C is a simpler ...
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered as the best marker of kidney function. Evaluation of various prediction equations to estimate GFR is rare in our population. The aim of this study was to compare GFR estimated by various prediction equations with GFR by creatinine clearance (GFRcr) ...

appropriate preventive measures can be taken. The risk of these two adverse reactions increases with decreasing glomerular filtration rate, which cannot be measured directly. Measurement of serum creatinine with calculation of the glomerular filtration rate is used to identify at-risk patients. The possi...
In clinical practice, GFR (glomerular filtration rate) and eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) are essentially synonymous; the latter emphasizes that the GFR was estimated using equations such as CKD-EPI. Equations that estimate GFR/eGFR express GFR in mL/min/1.73 m2. For the purposes of...
The reference interval varies with race, ethnicity, and gender. As a result, one should look at the calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as reported from the measured serum creatinine, to assess renal function. [2, 3] The GFR can also be calculated from the creatinine ...
It also forms the basis for estimation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and thus is a major component of all principal eGFR equations.Creatinine, which is nonenzymatically produced from the creatine pool in skeletal muscle, but is also to some extent generated from exogenous creatine...
