51-CHROMIUMETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETICACID (51Cr-EDTA) GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (GFR) ANALYSIS: COMPARING TWO BLOOD SAMPLING WITH MULTIPLE BLOOD SAMPLING

FIT to measure glomerular filtration rate ( GFR )

68Ga-EDTA PET/CT imaging and plasma clearance for glomerular filtration rate quantification: comparison to conventional 51Cr-EDTA.

UNLABELLED Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can accurately be determined using (51)Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma clearance counting but is time-consuming and requires technical skills and equipment not always available in imaging departments. (68)Ga-EDTA can be readily available using an onsite generator, and PET/CT enables both imaging of renal function and accurate camera-b...

Estimation of residual glomerular filtration rate in peritoneal dialysis patients using cystatin C: comparison with 51Cr-EDTA clearance.

BACKGROUND Measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important assessment in peritoneal dialysis patients. In clinical practice, it is commonly measured by calculating the mean of the urinary clearance of urea and creatinine (GFR(UrCl)) but this process is time consuming and unreliable. We wished to compare several estimates of GFR including residual GFR estimated from cystatin C (GFR(Cy...

GFR measurement with iohexol and 51Cr-EDTA. A comparison of the two favoured GFR markers in Europe.

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare the most commonly used GFR markers for clearance measurements, 51Cr-EDTA and iohexol, using two different methods for iohexol analysis, HPLC and X-ray fluorescence, referring both to the multiple-sample and single-sample calculations, using 51Cr-EDTA as the reference method. METHODS Forty-nine patients with an estimated GFR >40 ml/min wer...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) during and after STEMI: a single-centre, methodological study comparing estimated and measured GFR

OBJECTIVES To validate the performance of the most commonly used formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against measured GFR during the index hospitalisation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). SETTING Single centre, methodological study. PARTICIPANTS 40 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention-treated STEMI were included between November 2011 and Fe...
