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 (GFR(subscript cr)) in Bangladeshi population. Serum creatinine and 24 hours urinary creatinine ...
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 a...
Creatinine concentration can be used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [212]. GFR is the parameter that best defines kidney function and it is a sensitive indicator of early chronic kidney disease (CKD)(Table VI). Estimated GFR (e-GFR) based on creatinine concentration, age, g...

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...
Plasma cystatin C has been shown in several studies to be superior to plasma creatinine for the estimation of GFR. However, there is limited information on the circadian variation of cystatin C and estimated GFR using cystatin C (eGFRCystC) or "The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study...
Doctors can estimate GFR using a single blood sample of creatinine, which they enter into a formula. Different formulas take into account your age andsex, and older formulas may use race/ethnicity. The higher the blood creatinine level, the lower the estimated GFR. ...
Shlipak described using estimated GFR in clinical decision making as "better than using just creatinine, because it integrates demographic characteristics, which are determinants in part of the creatinine production, which is what determines how much creatinine is in the blood before it gets filtered....
Creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance (CrCl), which reflects the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), an important clinical index of renal function. It is a substrate for creatininase. Description Creatinine is together with urea, the most widely know...
