Estimation of glomerular filtration rate in hospitalised patients: are we overestimating renal function?
UNLABELLED QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY AND PRINCIPLES: Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in hospitalised patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important for drug prescription but it remains a difficult task. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of selected algorithms based on serum creatinine, cystatin C and beta-trace protein to estimate GFR and the potentia...
متن کاملstability of renal function in spite of low glomerular filtration rate: a case report
conclusions although our patient had ckd stage 4, but his condition has not deteriorated and remained constant and stable for several years only by control of blood pressure and usual treatment which prescribed for patients at this stage case presentation a 78-year-old man presented with stage 4 ckd for 7 years; the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) and creatinine levels remained constant despit...
متن کاملValidity of rapid estimation of glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function.
BACKGROUND Rapid estimation of the renal function is widely used in clinical practice. METHODS The validity of rapid estimation of renal function as well as long-term changes in renal function from the Cockcroft-Gault formula for estimation of creatinine clearance or from serum creatinine measurements was evaluated against the 51Cr-EDTA plasma clearance technique in 36 type 2 diabetic patient...
متن کاملGlomerular Filtration Rate and Renal Functional Reserve
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually accepted as the best overall index of kidney function in health and disease. Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size. In young adults it is approximately 120-130ml/ min/1.73 m2 and declines with age1. A decrease in GFR precedes the onset of clinical kidney failure; therefore, a persistently reduced GFR is a specific indication of chroni...
متن کاملGlomerular Filtration Rate Estimation in Renal and Non-Renal Solid Organ Transplantation.
Following transplantation (TX) of both renal and non-renal organs, a large proportion of patients have renal dysfunction. There are multiple causes for this. Chronic nephrotoxicity and high doses of calcineurin inhibitors are important factors. Preoperative and perioperative factors like hypertension, hypotension, drugs and infections may play a causative role as well. Organ-specific causes inc...
